Jakob William Jr (Jack)- Not a huge fan of JR's, and Jack is WAAYYY too popular
Evan Jakob- sounds feminine, don't love Evan
Benjamin Jakob (Ben)- I like this. Could also consider Bennett
Luke Jakob- LOVE Luke, GMV, great name
Alex Jakob- Like Alex, but only as a nn for Alexander. Could also do Alexander nn Anders. But Alex is a nn, not a full name
Joshua Jakob (Josh)- Too popular, and the flow isn't great

Thanks for the feedback. I am not too fond of "Just Alex" either but DH hates Alexander. These are the only 5 names he has even remotely seemed interested in :)

As for common/popular names, I'm really not worried about it. Our last name is such a mouthful that a simple/common first name is AOK with us. :)

As for Luke, I can just hear my FIL: "Luke I am your grandfather..." (instead of Luke I am your father). I mean, not just a couple times but until the day he dies. That's the only reason I really, really don't like that. I just KNOW it will be the joke that never dies. :)
