In theory . . .
What do you think of Jocelyn, Ivory, and Morgan on girls?
What do you think of Jocelyn, Ivory, and Morgan on boys?
(Whoa, has my name taste ever changed!)

Jocelyn and Morgan are two of my favourite boy names ever. I love them to pieces.
Jocelyn and Morgan on girls sound tacky and 80's.
I find Ivory tacky on either gender.

Jocelyn and Ivory for girls not boys and Morgan for a boy not a girl. That's my preference.
I lOVE Jocelyn (have liked it since elementary school many many years ago) and would definitely use it myself.
Ivory's ok, I suppose.
Morgan currently seems trendy and not overdone.
The first 2 are less common. I'd go with one of those.

I dislike Jocelyn over all but I like Joss for boy, and don't mind Jocelyn on a girl too much.
Ivory makes me think of elephants and soap, which is problematic I find it tacky on a girl and too feminine for a boy.
Morgan is totally nms on a girl. Its really masculine and not at all pretty. I love it for a boy though. I find it handsome and strong.

I love Jocelyn, Morgan and Ivory on boys. and Ivory on a girl.
I think Jocelyn and Ivory are female, but Morgan could go either way.
-On girls:
Jocelyn - Sounds very fussy.
Ivory - ...and Ebony. :) I find it kind of colonialist-like (think about the material and the colour), though it is a pretty name. It has amazing phonetics.
Morgan - I find Morgane, Morgaine and Morgana thousand times better.
-On boys:
Jocelyn - would be kind of weird, but definitely interesting! -lyn ending names look often good on both boys and girls (thinking about Evelyn).
Ivory - Reminds me of Irving. I can see it working. Definitely better on boys than girls. Ivory Ambrose, Ivory Ursus, Ivory Xerxes, Ivory Maurice. Yep, workable. :)
Morgan - On my PNL as a masculine name. I find it strongly masculine. The meaning is wonderful.

Jocelyn is a bit fancy for a boy, I think, even though it started as a male name and is still occasionally used as such among the English "upper crust".
I prefer Morgan on a boy although I don't dislike it on a girl.
I would never use Ivory under any circumstances - I believe in elephants keeping their tusks!

I like all three of them. Sometimes I go right off Jocelyn, thinking it sounds like a synthetic fabric, but right now I think it's fine.
Ivory is very pretty. It would be considered "out there" where I live but it helps that it sounds like a name; it has the rhythm of Emily, Stephanie, Bethany, Melody etc and the similarity to Ivy and to Ebony, which are established names.
I love Morgan on both sexes, which covers Morgan on a boy as well. I dislike Jocelyn on a boy intensely. Never met one, could not imagine why, of all the men's names out there (unisex included), a parent might think Jocelyn was a good solid name for a son.
And Ivory on a boy...Isn't there someone vaguely famous with this name? I dislike word names on boys with just one or two exceptions. Ivory is probably better than anything floral or gemstone-related, but still. (If this makes me sound closed-minded, I'm really not! But I can only form a proper opinion about a name when I visualise it on a person. Although you say 'in theory', I know.)

I like Jocelyn only on a girl. It just sounds too fem for a boy imo.
Morgan on boy or girl but I'm not a fan of the name in general.
Ivory reminds me of Keenan Ivory Wayans so I generally would associate it w/ a boy but I think it would work for either. I like it.

I like Jocelyn on either, although I think I prefer it on a girl.
Morgan I love on a boy, but dislike on a girl.
I don't like Ivory, but it looks and sounds masculine.
