This used to be my preferred spelling of the name (even though Jeffrey is much more common here)... until Game of Thrones. Now every time I read the name the 'o' makes me say "Joffrey" first.

I know someone in the States with this name. He pronounces it like Joffrey too. It's quite annoying. He is usually called Geoff (joff). I think his parents were trying to be upper-class.
It's even more striking because he is one of those hipster fellows who wears a long beard and bald head (by choice), with retro faded clothes from the second-hand store. It's a look, so whatever... but it definitely clashes when you say "Hey, Geoff!".
I think if he was actually named Joff, it would make so much more sense!
