I'm into "soft" masculine names myself, however, Joscelin is too closely associated with Jocelyn that I'm not sure he'd ever escape that association. It would be different if this name became more well known first as a male name. As it is, it just looks feminine. I do appreciate and have considered Josceline to get to the adorable nn, Josie.Of your combos, I like:Joscelin Arthur
Joscelin Charles
Joscelin Cyrus
Joscelin Daniel
Joscelin David
Joscelin Edward
Joscelin Frederick
Joscelin Peter
Joscelin Robert
Joscelin Theo
Joscelin Theodore
Joscelin Thomas
Joscelin Timothy
Joscelin Victor
Joscelin William

The ones from your list that really stood out to me were:
Joscelin Bruno
Joscelin Emil (I'd love Jocelyn Emil in this case)
Joscelin Felix
Joscelin HugoI'm actually going to go add Joscelin to my list right now. Instantaneous name crush!

There's a difference between stately and pompous. Jocelynor Joscelin or any spelling of that name as a male name is pompous and pretentious and screams "Look how cultured I think I am to know that many hundreds of years ago Jocelyn was sometimes used as a male name!"Anyway, Joscelin looks kre8yv.

I've not seen this spelling before. It's handsome, and definitely favourable to Jocelyn which I find a bit feeble.Joscelin Ambrose
Joscelin Andrew
Joscelin Charles
Joscelin Emil - I'm surprised Emil isn't more popular in English speaking countries.
Joscelin Frederick
Joscelin Isidore
Joscelin Theodore
Joscelin Thomas
Joscelin Virgil

It's not bad, and I rather do like it, too. I have also been enjoying Hyacinth for a male (or an androgyne) lately, so this is going into that area, but much less so. I wouldn't consider little Joscelin anything but male. I love "Joss" as a nn.Joscelin Abram
