I'm a big fan of naming your kids what you plan to call them. So, if she were my daughter, I'd call her Jocelyn. ^_^
I agree with previous posters - she'll come up with a nickname in her own time. Heck, she might be a total tomboy and go with "Jo." Or something entirely unrelated to her ACTUAL name, like "Ladybug."
I went by "Shoshana," with no nicknames, until I was at least 10.
It's a bit long, but it's fine. I like Jocelyn, but I don't love it. Elizabeth is beautiful. It's our #1 girl name. My cousin just had a baby named Jocelyn and they call her Joss.
Re: wdyt: Jocelyn Elizabeth
Cute name. Solid, fun and spelled right...gets my vote!
As for nicknames..she'll develop one eventually...so I wouldn't worry about that yet.
I agree 100%?
I like it!
Joss, Josie, Celia, Jacey could be nns.

I love that name!! Good choice!
I had a friend named Jocelyn and we called her Joss.
