Humphrey - yes or no?

[FortiesCromarty]

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?

Yes

I know quite a few people for whom Humphrey is the alternative word used for 'spot' as in 'I've got a huge Humphrey on my chin'. So I wouldn't use it for that reason...

Nooooo!
Ugly.
Quite hard to pronounce.
Hump is not an attractive start to the name visually either.

My sons would definitely have the hump if I named them Humphrey.

I rather like it.

But you'll get sick of "What do you call a camel with three humps?"

NO!

YES!

See, you were right about the Marmite

Hate it.

Anyone else remember the advert jingle

"Get more milk, they're on the attack.

Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out
'cos the Humphreys are back"

I have a baby Humphreys (it's my last name )

MamaM - I love Humphreys as a surname, it sounds all warm and squishy!

One of my children was nick named 'humph' by her siblings, because of the noise she made as a toddler stomping off to sulk

Wasn't there a camel connection?

I'm not keen personally (sorry), there's something vaguely comical about it. Herbert?

Yes!

No. Not for me, sorry.

Awful name.

I'm not keen on humphrey but then it's not my DS that's being named

yes - it's cute!

No!!!!!!!!!

christ no
terrible 'trying too hard name'

Please tell me your joking? Right?

Absolutely love it! Great name. Go with your heart.

Does nobody else think of Yes, Minister?

Awful, old man and ugly name.

No poor child , can you imagine being a teenager called Humphrey
