Jocelyn?

Smtih&co

DH has mentioned this name multiple times.  I don't much like it. :-(  He suggests so few, I feel bad shooting down the ones he really likes. 

So- what do y'all think, and what do you suggest for a middle name?

It is my sister's name, and I have always thought it was beautiful.  It's lovely for an adult, and lends itself to cute nicknames for kids (or adults).  My sis goes by Jocee.

Actually, I REALLY like it. DH does not.

Not bad but it feels a bit dated to me.

Agree. It's not one of my very favorites, so we won't use it, but I think it's nice.

I think it is a really pretty name.

Just because he shoots out so few names doesn't mean you are obligated to choose one of them.  Tell him to step it up with the suggestions.

How are y'all planning to pronounce it? I've heard it pronounced JAHS-lin, JAHS-uh-lin, and JO-suh-lin. I really like it either way. It's nice of you to keep an open mind to the names your husband suggests, but if you don't like it very much then I don't think you should use it.

Oops! Sorry for the double post...

Not a fan. I don't like it as Jocelyn, and I HATE Jo- nicknames. JoJo, Josie, Jo. It's just not at all feminine to me and way too harsh.

I like it but I don't love it.

I like it a lot and it's actually one of our top picks, but if you don't really like it, you shouldn't go with it.

ENI36

I don't care for it.

I don't like it.

I really like it.

Love it. It's my neice's name and we call her Jocy for short. Her middle name is Jolie.

Me too!

I think it's pretty but it does remind me of the verb "jostle." I prefer Jacqueline or Josephine as alternatives (however, the nn's for Jocelyn could be pretty).
