Lovely

I have heard for a girl and a boy. It's a great name. Such a refreshing change for a girl from Evie/Ellie/Ivy/Ava/Millie etc etc

Love it! It was on my list :)

CelesteCunningham · 28/04/2024 09:40

I really like it, 6yo DD has one in her class who is called Jossy a lot.

Love Jocelyn I’ve only ever heard Girls with the name but I think it is unisex. I love it’s a normal but not common name with Joss as a nn

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 28/04/2024 07:54

I knew a girl at school and I know two as an adult. I think it's a great name.

I really like it. I've only ever met girls called Jocelyn. I know it can be a boys' name too, but I've never met one.

Spikedcaroline · 28/04/2024 07:48

I really like it, I also like Joss.

Keiki · 28/04/2024 07:47

Be prepared for it to be forever spelt wrong. And have every nickname under the sun made from it.

pinkmags · 28/04/2024 07:44

I only know boys/men called Jocelyn.

Sheridanblair11 · 28/04/2024 00:26

Cute

AppleCrumbCake · 28/04/2024 00:21

It’s nice but I prefer Josephine

DahliaStar · 28/04/2024 00:14

I thought it was a boys name. It's nice.

Singleandproud · 27/04/2024 23:59

It reminds me of the character from Schitts Creek.

I like Joss, but not sure on the longer version. I like Evelyn as posted above

Mayhemmumma · 27/04/2024 23:49

Great girls name / love!

Also love Evelyn which is similar

Hate Josslynn, particularly the second n.
I like Jocelyn though.
