Opinion on Name

I have been agonizing over picking a name for dd #2. The problem I'm having is that I love my DD's name and I feel like I should love this name just as much. I'm probably over thinking it. All my friends have kids so many of the names I like have been taken. What are your first thoughts on Joslin and we would call her Josie for short?
I should mention my DD is named Avery.

I think of 'Joss' short for Joslyn first ... but I really like 'Josie'.

I like the spelling of Joselyn better, but i love the name in general. Josie is a great nickname IMO!

Re: Opinion on Name

Not a fan of the spelling but I think you can definitely use Josie as a nickname. I prefer Josslyn or Jocelyn for a spelling.

Opinion on Name

My DD is Avery and I am having the same problem! We aren't 100% sure DC2 is a girl yet, but they think it is from my 12w scan. The only name I love is Harper, but I am not crazy about how it sounds with our last name. IMO I don't think Avery and Jocelyn (however you spell it) go well together - I feel like only a modern name goes with Avery.

I am also having trouble with DD's name. Choose a name you love and don't worry what people think!

i don't care for the spelling, i would go with the more traditional Jocelyn. I don't care for Josie as a name at all either

Opinion on Name

I will say to keep looking. Not that I think it's a bad choice, but you WILL find a name you adore like your 1st DD's. We never agreed on a name while pg with Sawyer if he would have been a girl. They we nice, but not the name. I can now say 100% if we have another girl we know her name and I love it just as much as Emmy's. Keep looking and listening. It's out there.
