Jacob vs. Yakov vs. Yacob/Jakob

We want to honor my grandfather who was named Jacob (pronounced Yakov). We are trying to decide the best way to spell it or if this is too out there in the US. We don't mind if it is mispronounced sometimes (we would just correct people) but we want him to have the traditional (Hebrew) pronunciation. Which would you go with or would you go with another name entirely?
Which baby name is best?
 Jacob
 Yakov
 Yacob/Jakob

Genie's Mailbag

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
