...there's a small part of me who likes this. probably cause it sounds cute and I haven't heard it before.

The larger part of me is disgusted.

i like it :) but kinda only if there's a josh in the family that the baby's being named after... kinda like my neighbor's name is Jerry, and they named their daughter Jerilyn.

if there's not a josh that the baby's being named after it feels like "so yoooooooou... wanted a boy?"

lol this was supposed to be a response to the main thread... evidently i just hit "reply" at random :)

[bluehairedchild.livejournal.com]

yes. she spelled it out to the person on the other line.

Oh man. I was going to suggest maybe she had a lisp!

Why couldn't they have just gone with Jocelyn? :(

I love Jocelyn. Joshelyn not so much.

It is really hard to pronounce... and ugly.

i've heard Jocelyn a whooooooooooole lot, and i'm assuming Joshelyn is a variation/spelling thing... i'm not opposed to it, but it's NMS, i wouldnt name my daughter that, but it's not horrible or anything.

[bluehairedchild.livejournal.com]

no it's not pronounce like jocelyn. It's pronounced. Joshelyn

[pianokitten.livejournal.com]

ok so it's a variation of jocelyn, not a different spelling.

in that case i hate. haha

Well....so I really don't like it. HOWEVER, I do like Joshua on a girl LOL (never considered it until I met a woman named Joshua and it really worked lol).

There's the author Joshilyn Jackson... but that happens to be her pen name. Her real name is Jocelyn.
