So... I've been looking at new names... And I'm just really stuck on what I already had planned... Me and my parents were talking tonight and they both think that if that's what I like then forget about the "meaning" of the name, it's not why I picked it out. They tell me I put way too much into things... Sometimes I do but I just believe in those types of things... I believe in people jinxing others by what they say... I believe in all that astronomical horiscope stuff... So I guess I'm wondering what does everyone here think? Do y'all think I should pick a new name? Or go with what came from my heart? I've also thought about this... I already have a weird thing for wanting to spell the names differently, IE "Nickolus"... What if I changed it from Jacob to Jakeb? It'll sound a little different if you pronounce it right, kind of like Jay-Keb. It's different but the same, ya know? I'd reallly like to know everyones opinion on this so please... let me know!! Thanks everyone...

I think you should go with whatever you like, whatever feels right to you. do you know what you are having? This is the first time i\'ve read your journal, so i\'m not sure. I was also so sad to hear about your son. what was his name?
go with whatever you like, the heck with \"meanings\" or what anyone else says
I don\'t know if I would use it unless you did change the spelling. I know that in middle school a lot of kids have to look up the meaning of their name and their might be a lot of questions along with that. I really like the name Jacob too but now I know that & I will not use it. The name that you are supposed to choose will pull you & if that is Jacob then go with it.
