Joseph & Josephine are common enough names that I wouldn't think anything of it. Now if your ex had been named Horace and you named a daughter Horacia, that might be weird...

Thus said, I adore the name Josephine! Not terribly fond of Jo, but Josephine is gorgeous.

I almost never meet Josephine's. It's a fairly uncommon name in the US. In Europe it is common or possibly in the parts of America with a large Irish population.

It seems to be coming back a bit in N. Am... just not in full force.
