I associate this name with Humphrey the Whale; in the late middle 1980s, the famed humpback whale entered San Francisco Bay and made the mistake of going up the Sacramento River. He would have died if rescuers had not coaxed him back out to San Francisco Bay and, consequently, back out to sea. Seeing the two humpback whales who are lost in the Sacramento River is startlingly similar to Humphrey's predicament.
I don't want too insult anyone, but I really think this name is HILARIOUS! It is just the most comical name EVER! It is so fun to say, me and my friends use it all the time to name random things like a tape ball or an imaginary person.
Well, you can't really imagine this name on a child today, can you? It's very old-fashioned, quite pompous, and yet it sounds so funny, like ''hum free''.
Humphrey of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Gloucester, 1st Earl of Pembroke, KG (3 October 1390 – 23 February 1447), also known as Humphrey Plantagenet, was "son, brother and uncle of kings", being the fourth and youngest son of king Henry IV of England by his first wife, Mary de Bohun, brother to king Henry V of England, and uncle to the latter's son, king Henry VI of England.

All I can hear is "hump free", plus it's too dated. Not nice
