Are you really calling a child Humphrey?

CarrieBlu · 29/06/2019 11:38

Please don’t name your child Humphrey.

Hump. Which is quite apt as it is a dog's name.

Kashali · 29/06/2019 11:52

Humph, or Humpty.

Whathappenedtooursummer · 29/06/2019 11:52

Humpy!!
Not matter coz he will be referred to as
'Poor bairn' ...

Humphrey is so easy to say, no longer than say Alfie, Archie or Charlie. Why you want to shorten it?Confused

Ptolemy

Peitho · 29/06/2019 12:47

I'd shorten it to Tom.

AutumnCrow · 29/06/2019 12:50

It's a great name.

I once worked with a Hum. Excellent human being.

Divgirl2 · 29/06/2019 13:21

Cam

As in Humphrey the camel had 10 humps...

Honestly though, Humphrey is a fine name and doesn't need shortened.

usernameuser · 29/06/2019 13:33

Humphrey - phrey - phred- Freddy

Batqueen · 29/06/2019 13:38

H, Huff, Hup, Phree,

Readytogogogo · 29/06/2019 13:40

Henry. Which is what I'd call him insteadSmile.

HoppingPavlova · 29/06/2019 13:40

Hump.

Which is all sorts of odd.

I imagine that Humpty Dumpty’s real name was Humphrey Grin.

Poppkitty90 · 29/06/2019 13:52

Humpy Lumpy

Lavenderbluess · 29/06/2019 14:39

It's a terrible name.
