I think of it as more of a 90's name, especially with Paige.

I am not fond of the sound. I do like Joyce which this name reminds me of.
I dislike Jocelyn quite a bit, but I like Lily, Paige, Margaret, and Olivia a lot.
I grew up with a couple of girls named Jocelyn; I've always thought it sounded light and feminine. From your list, I like the combinations of Jocelyn Margaret and Jocelyn Paige. One of the girls that I used to know was Jocelyn Maria, and I think that was a gorgeous combination.

Your interpretation makes more sense. I have no idea why I associate Jocelyn with the 1930s. Must have been something I saw when I was young and my brain just filed it away somewhere!
Jocelyn is one of those fascinatingly timeless-dated names that I'm surprised is still used with some regularity. Jocelyn gives me glamorous 1930s vibes, which I enjoy, and "Joss" is very saucy and cute as a nickname. It's kind of strange to me that in the USA Jocelyn's peak popularity was in 2007; it doesn't seem to fit its own time period - but that's really cool. Jocelyn feels like a time traveler.
If I used Jocelyn, I might try to lean into that Art Deco, 1920s/30s sort of energy:

I've always enjoyed Jocelyn for its alert and perky elegance. There was a girl named Jocelyn at school who was never, to my knowledge, called anything else. Years later, I saw her again behind the counter in a bank, wearing a chain round her neck with the ghastly word JOSSIE on it. I was really disappointed.
In my life, Jocelyn would be a middle!
