I've always heard it pronounced JAHS-uh-lin or JAHS-ih-lin. The first syllable is like Joplin as in Janis. I don't see why Jo couldn't be a nn for it as J-O are the first two letters of it. It wouldn't be my first thought as a nn but it's not so out there it's unimaginable. My cousin's daughter is named Jocelyn and her nn is Joss.

I was going to link you to a list of "Jo" names on BtN but I see someone else has done that. I'm not a fan of Jo names myself but Jocasta and Josette would be my favorites. Marjolaine and possibly Marjorie might be possibilities as well.
