Jossiah

[Notmyrealname85]

I haven’t heard this name in ages!! Anyone thinks it’s due a revival? (Not ttc even, just heard it yesterday shortened to Joss)

I really like it but I've only seen it spelled with one s.

Is it a boy’s name? Only ever heard of Josiah before with one ‘s’.

Will you pronounce it Joss-iah rather than Joz-iah?

I personally prefer the one s spelling but if you are keen to change the pronunciation then the 2 s spelling makes sense

Isn't it Josiah? I've come across quite a few in the last few years, all in Christian families and generally shortened to Jos

(Oops I can’t spell! Think it is one s)

It was just one of those rare times where I really had completely forgotten about a name, wondered if it was as rare as I thought :)

Hm I googled Josiah and the bible guy sounds a bit mean tbh

There is a toddler named Josiah at one of my dd’s classes. I think it’s quite cool. The biblical reference wouldn’t put me off especially.

There have been a few threads on here, reasonably recently, talking about it. So, I think the revival is here already - maybe even been and gone!

I know a little Josiah, shortened to Joss. Not sure if it's due for revival but biblical names are very popular at the moment.

Josiah Wedgwood was a good chap, if you're looking for positive associations.

Joss is also a shortening for Joseph.

I had a distant relation called Josiah, known as Uncle Josie.

I have called my 19 week old baby boy this. Although only spelt with one S. I love it and the meaning behind the name is interesting also.

One of my favourite names. My eldest would have had this name but my husband didn’t like it.

My grandad was Josiah, Joe for short.
