Hi, I'm just wondering if people see Joss as a boys name or girls name? Also, do you see it as a name in its own right or only as a shortening for something else?

TIA

I work with a Jos, short for Joshua.
Actor Joss Ackland is a Jocelyn (this is actually one of his middle names)

I'd think if it as mainly boys name, but then there is Joss Stone.
