How would you pronounce it?

The ‘Humphrell’ and ‘a’ are all silent so it’s pronounced Balonz

I would have thought that was obvious. 🙄

Please don't.

Deadringer · 21/08/2022 14:21

Lovely, but only if your surname is Humperdinck.

Epicstorm · 21/08/2022 14:22

I’d go for the Irish spelling.

midsomermurderess · 21/08/2022 14:23

It's almost comically bad, the clumping, inelegant humph with the dainty ella tacked on at the end. Like an elephant in a tutu. Oddly, I don't hate Humphrey for a boy. I blame Death in Paradise .

First I thought this was some kind of joke. Now...... Are you being serious?

I think Grimes and Elon Musk took that name.

Well I obviously love it as my triplets are Humphrey, Humpfrella and Humpernicious.

Good choice.

Ah see this is the issue OP - there is at least one alternative spelling of the name. Your LO would forever be asked "is that Humphrella with an F or a PH". It would be so annoying for them.

MrsMitford3 · 21/08/2022 14:29

I love it.

It's an absolute classic and so musical to say.

My only worry is that I know several little Humphrella's at the moment so the risk is it becoming so popular.

Chersfrozenface · 21/08/2022 14:31

IDK, I feel Humphrina is better.

Chersfrozenface · 21/08/2022 14:31

Or, of course, Humphreya.

Whiteminnowfish · 21/08/2022 14:35

Is this a joke?

LaTangerina · 21/08/2022 14:36

Only if she's twins with Esmerelda 🧚‍♀️ 🧚‍♀️

RichardOsmansXraySpecs · 21/08/2022 14:36

I like it!

Suzi888 · 21/08/2022 14:37

Rebelmcstreettuff · 21/08/2022 14:13

Only if it's for an elephant........

😂

Spanielsarepainless · 21/08/2022 14:40

Sounds like an STI.

TopFun · 21/08/2022 14:41

For a camel?
