JOCASTA  

Gender: F
Origin: Greek mythology name

Mythological name fashionably used in England, mostly ignored here. She was the mother of Oedipus, whom he (oops) married. If you can ignore that small error in judgment, you'll find an interesting and attractive J name that's neither overused nor terminally dated.

Jocasta is being discussed in our message boards:

• Celina?

• "A" my name is...
• A middle name to honor my mother
