Just curious. It's in a book I'm reading. I like it, but I seem to always forget about it. Opinions?

I don't like it at all. Not much more to say, I just don't like it.

It's ok. I have a friend names Jocelin (female) but I'm not much of a fan of the name.

I don't like it at all. It has a masculine sound as well as a tryndee vibe. It also reminds me of the word, jousting.

Ditto.I flip between Jocelyn and Jocelin. I do tend to like -lyn on boys *unashamed*

I don't much care for the full version, but I love the NN Joss.

AwfulLike someone previously said, reminds me of "jostling". I think it's a perfect example of a frumpy name (like Evelyn) and I'd prefer on a boy. Obviously it's too 'far gone' to realistically do that although a middle name wouldn't be so bad.I don't know why but I always get an image of a really klutzy person.

I really don't like it. But that's only because it reminds me of my elementary school french teacher.

I really like Jocelyn. I think I like it mainly for the nn Joss. I just think Joss is so darn spunky. I have never really liked it enough for it to make my top names but its a name I have liked enough to think seriously about.

I'm in two minds about it. By and large, I think it's okay. But it does sound like jostlin', and I have this image of pushing and shoving.

I like it. I also like the spelling Joselyn or Joselin. It often winds up on my list, but gets bumped by other ones for me. I have always found girls with this name to be interesting and likable (maybe a little quirky).

This was one of the names my momma was considering for me; I'm kind of glad she didn't go with this one. It's an okay name, but I don't like it for me.
