The listed pronunciation is incorrect — or at least there's an alternative pronunciation. "Juh-HOE-suh-fat" is how I've always heard it, and a quick Google search agrees. [noted -ed]
This is probably one of the ugliest Biblical names I can think of.
I kind of like Jehoshaphat, it's very religious but very nice. The sound is a bit weird, but maybe you can call him Josh.
We considered naming our first child Joshua Jehoshaphat, because we really liked the combination of meanings "Yahweh is Savior", "Yahweh has judged"... but then we found the name Daniel has a similar meaning, and we ended up having a girl.
This name sounds ugly, pretentious, and like something that would have been used by Christian fundamentalists.
Gusuntiet. ;)
I can't think of anyone else right now, but on the television show Bonanza, Ben occasionally says: "Jumpin' Jehoshaphat!"
