Help[Opinions] That's really cool!
in reply to a message by Telfalathiel
It's sounds German, anyway...especially considering how you pronounce it.
A few months ago I encountered a child Jacoba in the newspaper...it made me so happy to see that. I first saw the name in 8th grade...apparently it was a name most commonly used among some Scandinavian monarchy in the 17th century...I always liked it more than Jacob, but now I like both just as much.
Jacobine, especially with the German pronunciation, tops them both.

I agree. My grandmother is German and I've recently begun to explore my family history. In talking with her, I've come across so many amazing German names: Hannelore, Waltraud, Walburga, the list goes on.

Walburga?! Waltraud?! That's awesome! I love those names...I recently found Hedwig, Auguste, Tobias, Emil, Wilhelm Gottlieb, and Wolfgang in my family.

I just found a Gottlieb yesterday! I also have a Hedwig, Wilhelm and Wolfgang. No Auguste or Emil that I know of.
