There used to be (and presumably is, in some retired form, possibly  
coaching) a well-known hockey player named Jocelyn Guevremont, on the  
Vancouver Canucks, in the 1970's. If you do a Web search for "NHL +  
Jocelyn", you find references that suggest the name is still  
eminently current among Francophonic Canadians.
