Jacob or Nathan?

Nathan.

Tough call! Jacob is the #1 popular name, but Nathan ends in -an, which is the #1 trend.
I'd probably go with Jacob because it has more nickname options than Nathan.

Until I read this, I never associated Nathan with the -an trend. I still wouldn't lump it with all the Aidan variations.

[blosmbee.livejournal.com]

I never lumped it with those either until I think about a kindergarten teacher calling roll on the first day:
Aiden (here)
Jaden (here)
Nathan (here)
Ethan (here)
Jacob (present!)

Jacob really stands out more, while Nathan blends with the others

I would normally say Jacob but it is way too popular with all the Twilight drama. So Nathan.

jacob because it was my great grandpa's name and my # choice in honor of him.

I've always liked Jacob well enough and never really cared for Nathan. Nathaniel isn't bad however and I do like the nn Nate, which could be used for either actually. Still, between Jacob and Nathan, I'll have to say Jacob.

Nathan!

[alas-earwax.livejournal.com]

nathan.

awfully tired of jacob.

[bookity.livejournal.com]

Nathan. I do like Nathaniel better, but I'm over Jacob at the moment.

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

Pretty much this. I prefer Nathaniel with Nathan just as the nn but Jacob's just a bit too popular right now.

[satunian.livejournal.com]

this actually. I love Nathaniel.

Nathan.

Nathan. Jacob is an ex's name.

Jacob.

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

Probably Jacob because I have a brother-in-law named Nathan.

Nathan. So bored of Jacob

Nathan for sure.

[myiris.livejournal.com]

Nathan, DEFINITELY. Nathaniel is our number one pick for a boy right now; it's beautiful and both nn's Nate and Nathan are wonderful options.

I like Jacob better especially the nickname Jake. I've always hated the nickname Nate. However, Jacob is crazy popular right now so there is that to consider.

Nathan.

I went with Nathan because I kind of like Nathaniel.

I've never cared about Jacob one way or the other, but right now it just reminds me of Twilight.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

Nathan, I love that name. Manly and understated. Nat as a nn.

[teahleilah.livejournal.com]

jacob. i don't like its current super-trendiness, but i do honestly like the name better than nathan.

[thellamaqueen.livejournal.com]

Nathan, firstly because it's not the #1 most popular boy's name, and secondly because I have Jacobs on both sides of my family already.

Nathan!

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

Nathan, by far.
