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

Humph, or Humpty.

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.

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
