I love Jocelyn on a boy, especially. It's 100% male to me, having been a reasonably popular male name in the Middle Ages (35th in 1250) and being borne by males in several French noble families. (This included the brother-in-law of Henry I of France, Jocelin of Louvain. He married Agnes de Percy, and their children took their mother's surname; thus he founded the Percy family of the Earls of Northumberland.)

I prefer Nathaniel, even though I know Nathanael's more correct. Nathaniel's just more familiar to me. But, as a sib for Asher, I'd really prefer Nathan since Nathaniel seems too long to me when paired with Asher.
