I’ve recently been thinking about this name as a middle for my dear [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (future baby) the only problem is, there are a million and one ways to spell it!
What is your favourite spelling? Which would look better as a middle for [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]?
I really love [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]! I’ve given myself a no-unisex name rule for girls, mainly because I have a unisex name and hate that aspect of my name, and refuse to give the same to my daughter (even if there are a couple unisex names I like!). I think I would have added her to my list ages ago if that weren’t the case! I have heard that [name_f]Jocelyne[/name_f] is the feminine [name_m]French[/name_m] form, but it always seemed so unnecessarily frilly to me. I would opt for [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Jocelyne[/name_f], myself. I like it a lot!
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] is always the first spelling that comes to my mind when I think of the name! But I honestly have no idea what is considered the ‘correct’ spelling! Haha
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] is the correct spelling and it’s a nice name. I would have been a [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] if my mother had not changed her mind.
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] is the original spelling; it (like [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]) was originally a masculine name, but is now firmly feminine. You could use the [name_m]French[/name_m] feminine form [name_f]Joceline[/name_f] (Zho-sell-een), but I reckon just stick to [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] - it is gorgeous and the option of the very cool and modern [name_u]Joss[/name_u] as a nickname is a bonus.
