It's really nms. I have a bad association with a Jocelyn (she was a total brat). I've only met female Jocelyns, and I believe it's on the top 100 list for girls. It seems more feminine to me even though it used to be strictly a male name.

For a boy or girl? I think it's kind of cute for a boy, though I don't really like it, and for a girl it's nmsaa.

I love it, but only on a boy (as it was for 90% of its history). I like Joscelina, Josceline, Jocelina, or Joceline for a girl.

Love it! It is one of my very favorite names. Personally I only like it for a girl, however there are others on here that prefer it on a boy (as it is originally a boy's name)

I like it. Although my sister recently reminded me that this was her Cabbage Patch Kid's name - Jocelyn Diana.

I don't care for it. I find it very unattractive, and I think of the word jostling.
