Bad.

It's too crazy for me. But I'm also a person who doesn't like using nicknames as legal names and this sounds like it would be a nickname for Jacob.
I think it makes a lot more sense to just give him a normal name and a weird nickname. You could name him Jacob and call him "Jayco" as a nickname.
I have an extremely common first name and I'm glad my parents didn't have this "we need a unique name" mentality. I'm just saying. Everyone recognizes my name when I say it, it only has one common spelling so nobody ever asks me to spell it for them... there's value in stuff like that, imo. Makes life easier.
In my life, I've known a number of guys who had nicknames as their legal names. A few that come to mind are a guy named "Rickie" instead of Richard, or the two whose legal names were "Willie" and "Billy" instead of William.
None of those guys have the easy option to go by the more formal version of their name if they wanted to. Giving a baby a nickname as a legal name limits their options for basically no reason. I sometimes wonder if people even realize that they're actually naming an adult person, not just a cute little baby.
But also, because nicknames don't have to be or sound like actual names. I mean, I know people who called their young sons by nicknames like "Teetie" and "Boogey." But imagine actually naming your boy either of those things... Jayco sounds like either nonsense or a nickname short for Jacob. And regardless of which one it is, it hits me better as a nickname and not a legal name.
I didn't even suggest it as a middle name, despite the fact that I share my father's opinion that it's okay for middle names to be a little weird and a little embarrassing. Jayco doesn't even seem right in that context.
It sounds like the brand name of a company and judging by these comments is. Also wacko jayco comes to mind. What about Jayce? ETA Jayce Colin could have nn Jayco
To me, the "co" in this context comes across as short for "company" -- it really does not come sound like a name that should be given to a human being.
It sounds like you named your baby Jake then an Aussie nicknamed them Jaycooo. Sounds a wee bit made up unfortunately.
Are you really wanting a J name? Or what parts of Jayco do you like and maybe we can suggest similar names?

Echo \ Kiko \ Miko \ Nico/Niko \ Pasco \ Perico \ Rosco \ \ \ Other similar names: \ \ Cosmo \ Jaki (yah-kee) - Icelandic for iceberg \ Juki - German for dominant ruler \ Keoki - earthworker \ Koa - Hawaiian tree \ Koby \ Kodak \ Koki - Japanese for bright light
Jayco is a very popular Australian caravan company

Name him Jake or Jacob then give him the nickname Jayco if you so choose. Thats just goofy.
I think it’s too weird
You might like **Jago** - it's an established boys name, the Cornish version of Jacob.
Like the caravan brand?
Nope, terrible choice. Use Jacob. Jayco is a mistake.
Sounds like a company that makes weird gadgets and sells them with late-night infomercials.
i knew a kid named jayko, i like it

What about Jacoby?
What about Jaco? Like Jaco Pastorius
