Jake is cute, but with Jacob being so popular he probably won't be the only one in his class. If you don't mind that though then I would say use it, its a nice name.

other ideas:

Liam
Mark
Brady
Drew
Paul
Joel
Max
Troy
Clay

It's a great nickname for Jacob or John. I don't care for it on it's own. Reminds me of the song, "Feed Jake" about a dog named Jake.

well, I think if you like Jake, that's fine, but I think you should NAME him Jacob and call him Jake - he should get the choice to use Jacob as a formal name later

NMS... ex-husband is Jacob (goes by Jake) so that really kills the name of for me... I also have a cousing named Jacob (again goes by Jake) who is not a nice person....

Also, the name is too common for my personal tastes. :)

If you like the name then go for it! :) What is important is if you like it enough... after all you are the one who is going to have to use it a hundred times a day for the next 18 years... :P

I love the name Jake. Jacob is my #1 favorite name right now. I would name my son Jacob Wesley or Jacob Douglas (Wesley & Douglas are family names)

I think that Jacob Ryan flows nice.
