Love the name, but is it too "sullied" by it's associations (mother and wife(!) of Oedipus)?

Isn't that one of the 'Modern Parents' in Viz?? That alone would put me off.

it's a woman who married her son and then gouged out her eyes.

don't go there.

name her Medea or Clytemestra or Regan or that.

Jocasta Innes - where do I know that name from?

I am not sure many people will get the Oedipus connections.

I would be more worried that every Jocasta I have ever met is UBER posh and sloany. Not in a nice balanced way but in a horrid snobby way.
