Advice with Dutch research please

[Val and George]

If a son Jacques was born 1749 in London to Dutch emigrees, what would he anglicise his name to from Jacques?
Many thanks - Val

[Richard in Perth]

Well the obvious one would be Jack - but could also be James (both names come from the Latin Jacobus).

[Mary from Italy]

I think James or Jacob would have been more likely at that period.

[Little Nell]

Or Jake or Jacob.

Hi everyone, James was the name I was hoping you came up with, so I shall go with that. Many thanks, Val
