I first heard of this name from Joss Whedon. I think it's a great name for a boy or a girl.

It's an okay nickname, but a little minimalist to be the official name of a person. It actually sounds quite masculine, so it would be better to name a daughter Jocelyn and call her Joss.

English actor Joss Ackland (1928-) is a famous bearer. His full name is Sidney Edmond Jocelyn Ackland.

In the case of Joss Whedon, anyway, it's short for Joseph.

Could be a nickname for Josephine if you pronounce it with a long O like in ocean... Just a thought :)
