Re: Rory and Joscie?
in reply to a message by JessicaLeigh
I love Roland and Rory. Not totally sold on Roland Rain because I keep hearing it as "roll and drain" -which sounds a bit like something you'd do with a dishcloth or sponge. Roland -something- Rain would play to my ears better. Either way I love Rory and think it works fine as a nn for Roland
Joscelind is okish, but I'm not at all a fan of Jocelyn in the first place. As far as nn spellings go, Joscie looks to me like it should be pronounced like "Josie" (long "o") whereas Jossie looks to be said with a short "o". I don't care for the sounds of Jossie, I think just 'Joss' is infinitely better

I'm not sure what the third name will be yet, so it's possible the order of names may change. I was hoping Joscie would be seen as "Jossie", but even I see it as "Josie" upon first glance. Thanks.
