Oh! I forgot to post about my new nephew.

Judah Gabriel

Jacob Gabriel was their first choice up until 2 weeks before he was born, then they changed their minds. If he'd have been a girl they were going with Josie.

My sister is Angela Nicole. Her husband is Jonathan James and my oldest nephew is Jonathan James jr.

On a side note, has anyone ever heard of Jake being a nickname for James?

Jacques is the French version of James, so I can see Jake, in a round about stretch kind of way.

He's first generation born here for my family. My great grandparents came over from Poland when my great grandma was pregnant.

Apparently it's the same story in Polish. Jakob. English is actually a bit of an odd duck is translating the Hebrew name different ways for different people

Ah. Well thank you! I never thought to ask him when he was alive. My dad and I were talking about it the other day and he didn't even know. Lol

Should be Jakub. My phone autocorrected it to Jakob.

Well, Jake is a nickname for Jacob, and Jacob and James are the same name, so it could work. I've never heard it, though. All the James's I've ever known just went by James.
