Frederick all the way. Much more versatile for one thing: Fred, Derick, Eric ... and Jacob has never appealed to me much as a character. Though I'll be hearing the entire sound track of 'Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat' in my head all day. Which is fine; I like the musical!Where I live, if I saw a reference to a Jacob person, I'd assume he pronounced it YAHkop.

FrederickStraightforward since I dislike almost everything about Jacob.
The only point in favor of Jacob and against Frederick, is Jake vs. Fred.

FrederickI'm just not a fan of Jacob, I'm not sure why. Frederick has a certain charm, and I think would be cute for a little boy too.

Frederick! It's one of my very favorites. I'd use it in a heartbeat if it didn't sound bad with my last name.

Jakob is the middle name of my son, so I also love Jacob. But Frederick is great, too.

I prefer Jacob to Frederick, but I prefer Freddie to Jake. I guess I'd pick Jacob and hope it didn't get shortened.

I like them both, but it would be refreshing to see a young Frederick. It's quite an elegant name for a male, while still strong.

Frederick. It's been growing on me, and Jacob is just too popular.______________________________________________________________________________________

I think I prefer Frederick. But since my own name is Fredrika, I would rather choose Jacob.

FrederickJacob is one of my least faves so a lot of things would have won by default here. I think Frederick is nice though, particularly Freddie.
