Joscelin / Josceline / Jocelyn

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on the name? Which spelling do you prefer? Do you know any?

Thinking Joss or Joey make nice nicknames

Jocelyn is how I'd spell it. I like Joss!

Forgot to say I only know one - an adult.

There was a bbc series' Its Jocelyn'

Dd's friend is Josslyn..

I know a Joslyn and a Jocelyn, I prefer Jocelyn

Jocelyn

Nick names Joss/ Jo /Lyn /Joey/ Joel

I don’t know why but it makes me think of Janice.

Sorry, not my cup of tea.

I think Jocelyn is a lovely name, the one I know spells her abbreviated name as Jos.

I think Jocelyn is the spelling I'd expect. Joey would be a lovely nn!

Jocelyn is the "correct" spelling. Gorgeous name.

I know one who was Jossie until she was about 6/7, and it's usually Joss now. She's Jocelyn.great name-adaptable for the character of the girl: the one I know is a scrappy scruffy loud character (in a good way!) , definitely more of a Joss, but I can see Jocelyn suiting a more quiet, feminine girl too.

I prefer Joscelin / Jocelin nn Joss for a boy.

Jocelyn...why would you spell it any other way? If it's not spelt like that then she'll continually have to correct peoples spelling of her name all the time...don't do that to someone.

Jocelyn

I really don't understand why people mess about with the spelling of names - it is the poor child that will have 80+ years of correcting everyone.

I don't like it myself, but no particular reason, just personal taste.

There’s a 12 yr old Jocelyn in my son’s class at school- it makes a change from the 4 Ellas, 2 Rubys and various other duplicates!

Prefer it as a male name

I know 3, they are all in the same fashionable name category as Tracey’s, Karen’s, Janet’s, Elaine’s who are in their 50s now. None of them have been very nice I don’t like it because of that mainly.

I like it, DP doesn’t do not on our list.

I know one who’s around 2yrs old. Would only spell it Jocelyn though the rest look wrong to me

I know a Josceline. He’s a bloke.

Jocelyn is lovely

Jocelyn is the only one that looks right. probably because it's the only one that is right

It originates from Brittany, and the first two spellings are French, I think. Joss is lovely for a boy or girl.

I love Joss. Can you spell it Joslyn?

I like Jocelyn fine. Never heard of Josceline but I'm literally reading it as Joss-celine. Is that the pronunciation? It sounds like cellulite cream or something. Sorry, not to be rude! Stay with Jocelyn, nick name Joss!

Can you spell it Joslyn?

In S.Carolina yeah.

It’s spelled Jocelyn (female) or more rarely Josslyn (male). The other two spellings are just wrong and made up by parents who want to be Yooneek.
