I would never use this name because I immediately think of Josef Stalin and Josef Fritzl, two of some of the most evil men in history whenever I hear it.
I usually prefer 'f' to 'ph', but this name makes me think of both Stalin and Mengele, which are not good associations! Of course, most people probably won't have that thought at all, and there's no real reason it shouldn't be used.

This is a very beautiful name, but who wants to share his name with Stalin?
