Jake

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.

Ugly name.

This name is pretty hot but the only person I could picture in my mind with this name is a teenaged, hot popular guy that many girls like.

SO over-used where I’m from. There were at least a few in every grade in my school. It does sounds nice though.

I dislike it. It sounds ugly and atrocious for me.

A cool sharp sounding name but I don't like a lot of the twee boyish associations Jake and the Nederland Pirates, Jake from the Tweenies, Jake the Dog.

Haven't met one guy named Jake who wasn't a cool person! Great name! (I like how everyone here is bashing on Jake Paul. I also dislike Jake Paul!)

It is okay, but I personally would put Jacob on the birth certificate. I am not a fan of diminutives as legal names.

I prefer Jack.

My least favorite masculine name.

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?

Very juvenile, and also Jake Paul...

Ugly, Jake Paul makes me hate it even more.

I like it but not Jake Paul.

JAKE IS THE CUTEST NAME EVER ♥️♥️♥️ (Except for Jake Paul).

This is a good name.

I liked this name until Jake Paul...

Sorry Jakes, but Jake Paul basically ruined the name for me.

I like this name because I love Adventure Time, but because of it, it sounds more like the name of a dog to me.

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.

I think Jake is a very good name, it is nice.

I love Jake. I think it's a strong, masculine but cute name, that works for someone of any age. I do like Jacob, with Jake as a nickname, but prefer Jake as an independent name.

This name is savage and awesome and epic in every way!

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.

I like this name because it is simple and quite a kind-sounding name.

I love the name Jake! It's cute and simple and has an obvious masculine sound to it. ^_^ I think it's VERY underappreciated these days! :(

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.

I love Jake, but it will always be diminutive for me. It'll always be a nickname for me, rather than a real name.

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.

My stepbrother has this name. I think it's pretty nice.

This name is overused. I know, like four+ Jakes. Not that it's a bad name; it's just too common for me.

The sound of this name is very abrupt. I dislike Jake.

Jake has quickly been gaining popularity in the US. Why I don't know. Jack is better. Jake makes me think of a jock or bartender.

Jake is such a boring, flavorless name. There are like 50000 Jakes at my school.

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.

My son's name is Jake I hate the name Jacob, and absolutely love the name Jake. It is such an attractive name. I think it all started with "Jake Ryan" in the movie Sixteen Candles. I thought he was so hot and the name stuck with me.

I don't like this name as a shortened form of Jacob. I much prefer it as a real name.

I love the name Jake for a girl.

My brother's name is Jacob aka Jake! My mom really loves the name Jacob. My dad didn't like Jacob, so my mom said they can call him Jake as a nickname after the John Wayne move, Big Jake!

My friend's name is Jake. I think it's a cute name, and it suits him well.

Cute name. I like it better than Jacob. But I can't see it being a good name when he's say, a grandpa.

My brother is named Jacob but always goes by Jake. I like the name a lot. It really suits him. He's fun and outgoing and always likeable (unless he's being annoying - but he's my brother, what can I say?) I really like the name though. It's cool.

I adore the name Jake, my second son would be Jake. He would be Jake Alfie. I love it so much, so simple and natural.

I like this name by itself, without Jacob. I've met a couple of Jacobs and, to put it mildly, they've ruined the name for me.

The name is alright, but kinda plain and boring.

I like the name Jake, it is rugged and strong. Not overused either.

I love the name Jake. It's a very hot name. Sounds very masculine.
