Help[Opinions] Jacoba & Jacomina.
Jacoba is quite an old-fashioned name in my country (along with the old-fashioned nicknames for it, such as Coba and Coby). Its other form, Jacomina, was always a little bit more common than Jacoba, but it's also very old-fashioned nowadays.
I was wondering how you guys feel about the name? I know Jacob is very popular in English-speaking countries, but it's a little bit surprising that its female variant is nowhere to be seen in the statistics (didn't even find Jamesina), while most female variants of other popular male names are quite common.
By the way, their pronunciations are as follows in my country:
Jacoba: ja*-CO**-bah
Jacomina: ja*-co**-MEE-nah
* Pronounced as in the German word for 'yes.'
** Pronounced as the 'Co' in 'Coby', though a little bit heavier in sound.
So, what do you think of those names?
