I like the name, and since it was originally a variant of Jack, I think it's fine as a first name. Also, who even is Jake Paul? The name rings a bell, but I forget who he is, so he hasn't ruined the name for me.

If I was to describe this name in one word it would be wholesome. The name is simple, pleasant sounding, and cheerful. Added to which, I can’t think of a single guy (including fictional characters) named Jake, who aren’t 100% wholesome.

The name itself isn’t bad. But it’s pretty heavily associated with Jake Paul. A person I myself don’t even like. Then again who actually likes Jake Paul?

I like the name Jake. It sounds cute for a little boy.
You don't hear it much. I heard it on the movie "Lorenzo's Oil" (1992), one of the characters is named Jake. He's a sweet and cute little boy. :)

This is only a nickname. Most names can be nicknames but also have their own separate meanings but Jake is just a nickname and should NEVER be used as a first full name.

Hello! My nickname is Jake and my true name is Giacomo. I'm from Italy. My name is another version of the name Jacob (or James). In the original Bible (also in the New Testament), there is only the name Yaacov used for the patriarch Jacob and for the two Jameses. I dislike so much the version James and all his nicknames. I prefer Jacob or Jake used for my name.

Jack and Jake are childish nicknames in my opinion, and don't work as full names for me. I prefer the longer versions of the name rather than the shortened one because Jake is just a kiddish name just like Billy or Joey.

My three year old son is named Jake and we have never met another little Jake since he was born. Apparently it is quite rare, it has never broken the top 40 in the U.S. and has become more rare since it's peak in the late 90s. It has not been in the top 100 boy names in the U.S. since 2013. We hope it continues to be an unpopular name.

Though names like this are normally not my style, Jake is one of my favorite boys names. Which is strange since I don't even really like Jacob. I picture Jake as either an adorable, brown haired little boy who is very active and kinda cheeky, or a 20-30 year old guy who is really laid back. Definitely a great name, I'd prefer to meet ten million Jakes over another that rhymes with Aiden.

Since I see how many people like this name, I won't be too harsh. But I honestly dislike this name. (I know at least six Jakes). Very overused. I don't like how it sounds, in other words. It gives me the image of an obnoxious football player (though I am sure there are plenty of kindhearted Jakes out there, don't get me wrong). But I respect the opinion of those who like it.

I really like this name. It has a boyish charm, yet; it can by strong and manly too. I don't like the name Jacob (maybe because of the association with Jacob Marley in Ebeneezer Scrooge's Christmas Carol) and I would never name a girl Jake.
