It's one of my daughters' names and some people have a hard time pronouncing it. She gets a lot of JAWS-a-lin or even JOSH-a-lin which drives her crazy.

Otherwise, it's a beautiful name. We call her Joce (same as Joss) most of the time. I picked it up from the movie "A Knight's Tale" which I imagine accounts for a quite a few Jocelyns under the age of 10.

It's alright. I'd like Adela Jocelyn. I don't really like it as a first name, because the only Jocelyn I know at all well is a bit mean, but I suppose it would be alright a a fn too. It's mostly just too "modern" for my tastes. It does go pretty well with Adela though, because both names have that sort of "clean" look to them (maybe because they both follow the vowel-consonant-vowel-consonant pattern?) I didn't know there were any other spellings. The Jocelyn I know sometimes goes by Joc (pronounced like Joss.)

Love it. I am considering it for my next baby I think. It is so cute. I like the spelling Jocelyn. Joss is a great nickname. I also know a Jocelyn that goes by Jocie (prn. like Josie).

Jocelyn is a name that I am lukewarm about in the fn slot and in love with for the mn slot.
I think Adela Jocelyn is lyrical and wouldn't change it for the world! You can still call her Joss for short IMO.

I prefer the spelling Jocelyn. I think Adela Jocelyn is a great combo. It has really good flow. Joss is a cute nickname for Jocelyn. If you wanted to turn things around you could do Jocelyn Adele.

I love it, but I don't like Joss. To be perfectly honest I don't like any of the nicknames for Jocelyn. And Jocelyn is by far my favorite spelling and while I don't like Adela, the combo is perfectly fine.
