We both like the name Humphrey very much, but it does seem to be a love it or hate it name. What's the MN verdict?

I like it too. The real question, though, is are you happy with Hump / Humph?

I like it, but would never use it because Humph is just so bloody awful. Such a shame really.

I like it!

I know a guy in his early 30's called James Humphrey Surname...we all call him Humphrey no idea why as do his parents.

It's awful. An incredibly ugly name.

I like it, I think a little baby Humphrey would be adorable.

Not keen myself, although on the bright side you could buy clothes with his name already on them:

I think there are books and bedding sets out there too!

I have a friend with a baby Humphrey. I was dubious at first but I really like it now.

Go for it!
