Love the name...my son's spelling is Jakoby. We prounounce it Jah-koby. I think putting the K in there was just enough to make people look at it b/4 they try to say it. We know 3 other boys ranging from ages 5-14 w/the'same name. Jacobi, Jacobee & Jacoby =)

I love this name. i've only ever met people who pronounce it Jacob-ee. Which I think sounds a million% nicer than jah-coby.

We just found out that we were pregnant with our second child. Still not sure of the gender, but if the baby is a girl then her name will be Kiaya Jean. Our son is a Jr. so he has his daddy's name (Robert Andrew). This will be our way of naming her after me... my name is Angela Jean. We have always had trouble deciding on a girls name, but when we came up with this, we both fell in love! Now fingers are crossed for a girl!! <3

My husband picked JaKoby for our son. He got it from Jacoby Shaddix, the lead singer of alternative rock group Papa Roach. I think It's a beautiful name. We spelled it with a K hoping it would help people pronounce it right.....but it doesn't! LOL! And I wanted to name him something "different" so this was perfect!!

Lol!). And hopefully the'spelling cuts down on some of the mispronunciation.. :)

My son was born in August 09, his name is Jakoby Raydon, It's a relief to know that he's not the only kid in the world to gets his name pronounced wrong. He also gets Jack-O-bee and Jacob-ee. My little nickname for him is Koby-J. I get very frustrated with people who think they can shorten his name to "Jack", if I wanted him to be called Jack I would've just called him that!

Hello Does anyone watch baseball❤️ Jacoby Ellsbury from the Boston Red Sox! He pronounces it JUH-KOBE which I think sounds way better than JACOB-EE. JACOB-EE reminds me of a kid in a class where there is two Jacobs and everyone calls him Jacob E. But thats just my opinion. But ya, I do love this name! its so cute and ever'since I heard it I fell in love with it! :)
