-Jocelyne (pronounced Jock-lyn) that's my daughter's name but pronounced Joce-lyn

hmm.. i like finley caroline.

[depeche810.livejournal.com]

I like Rosalyn, Aizlyn, Gabriella and Rena. I think if you pick Jocelyne but want it pronounced like Jock-lyn, you should spell it differently, like Jacklyn.

Rosaline.

My favorites!

[gorgeous1313.livejournal.com]

Rena, Linnea, Leena, Rosaline, Finlee

(I tend to like names that end in "a", if you can't tell! Rosaline reminds me of Romeo and Juliet, and Finlee is just very pretty.)

If you want it to be pronounced Jocklyn then spell it that way. It won't be otherwise.
I'm not a huge fan of things that are spelled different for the sake of being spelled different, and that seems to be what you're doing.
I like the name Finlee. But if I liked it as much as you apparently do, I'd save it for my own kids.
And again with Loraay, you need to spell it differently or it will never be pronounced correctly.

Here's a Jocklyn suggestion, Jacqueslyn you know like Jacques

[fizzykitty.livejournal.com]

Phonetically, Jacqueslyn would be pronounced "Jahks-lyn" though, not "Jocklyn."

[carrot-princess.livejournal.com]

not if everyone speaks francais. The "s" is silent because the letter following is a consonant.

If anyone goes the Jacqueslyn route, I'd recommend hyphenating it. Jacques-Lynn or something of the like. It's a bit odd to begin with.

[fizzykitty.livejournal.com]

That's why people who don't understand another language's phonetics rules shouldn't try to make up names using those rules.

And it would be pronounced with an "s" unless it was two seperate words. Some examples: geste, distinguer, scenique, squelette.

[carrot-princess.livejournal.com]

Now I understand.

I was hyphenating it in my mind, so I read the s as silent.

I love Gabriella but how do you pronounce Kierie.

[ericaamericka.livejournal.com]

Keereeay is my guess.

I got picked to name my baby cousin :)

You get to name her? Or give suggestions..?

I like Rosaline, Jocelyn (but only pron. Joss-elyn), Julie & Gabriella.
If Lilei is Lily, I like that too..but I'd spell it Lily.

For Larei/Loree & Jocelyne I'd choose a different spelling..She'd be correcting people constantly.

i like Rosalie better than your other rose options and karoline as caroline, and esmee or esmay is actually shortest at esme(with an accent over the last e), short for esmerelda. and by rena, do you mean 'queen' in spanish? if so i believe that's spelled reina.

i like finley caroline, esme rosalyn or esrene rosalie

[ilovehounds.livejournal.com]
