I read it as Jo-zee-ann when I first saw it in your post, Then I opened it to read it's pronounced Jo-zee-en? I thouht it was a girl name to start. I think it's too close to Josie for use on a real boy. Sorry. :( I'd spell it Josien if it ws to be pronounced Jo-zee-en.Clementine India Jane, Maud India Scarlett, Elspeth Violet Ophelie, Beatrix Lilias PenroseRex Fiyero Malachy, Cosmo Henry George, Rufus Wilder John, Clarence Arthur Finlay

This seems odd to me.
Why stress the last syllable as "ann" when it isn't done that way in named like Vivian, Damian, Ciprian, Killian, etc?
