[edit] Merge?
- Disagree- don't agree; although the names have common etymology they have diverged and taken a strong life of their own. Link yes merge no! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:53, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Agree- I think it should be merged, their way hasn't been that apart. By the way, I think there's a name missing in Portugal's list. Diogo, is also a form of Tiago and Jacob. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Totava (talk • contribs) 14:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

- I'm going to agree with this. Although we don't call people who are named James "Jacob" and vice versa, they mean the same thing and have the same root in the same culture and language. There should be a few main sections, but one article including both names and perhaps a history of the names and how even though they are different, they are related.

- Oppose the names are related but distinct, like a multitude of other names that have their own article. Discussion is also at at Talk:James (name), which has 4 Opposes, zero supports. - Draeco (talk) 05:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose - in English usage they are two completely different names - see baptism registers where parents use them for different children. Motmit (talk) 10:44, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
