We have been struggling to think of a name for a boy (don't know what we're having). DH has suggested Joseph (which we both like) but this is the name of my sister's DP. I see my sister a fair amount (she has a DS 8 months old) but don't really see her DP.

What do you think?

our boys are share the same name as 2 very good friends - it was a coincidence! but I do wonder if our other friends feel left out :) Absolutly fine btw

It's such a regular name that it doesn't matter.

Yes I think that is fine. Why don't you check with her? You might get jokes about how he was named after his "dad" though!!
