Dear Pinkfreud
AS always you have more than adequately bared the facts (oops I think
this pun is now getting somewhat tedious)

Fantastic and quick work. This exactly answered my question in a
remarkably short time. I'm very pleased.

Great - thanks, sorry about the Clarification question (that I tried
to remove).  You told me what you queried . . . in your answer.  C

very good and quick answer

Thanks, that was it!

The answer was right on

..........and howdy to you too Pink One. We will have to stop meeting
like this I think or your husband may become a little suspicious.
Looks like you did a fair amount of research going over every decade
as you did so I have to drop in five stars as there is not much more
you could have resaonably been expected to do in terms of research; 
at the consultancy fees I pay that is!!

 You say its odd that mothers did not feel the desire to name their
babies after the handsome film star Humphrey  Bogart, in that era,
which I agree with. What I also find odd is that if there is virtually
no-one called Humphrey in the modern era, then how come virtually
everyone is familiar with the name. I mean its an ancient name rarely
used but so to is Ethelbert + Egbert, names my teenage daughter has
never heard of,  yet she and her three or four friends in kitchen
earlier are all very familiar with the name Humphrey.

 Thanks too to commenters as researchers, I did not expect to get the
history of name as BOWLER kindly provided.

Working on a character of a Harvard Law Grad.  Not having been to
Cambridge I am using maps and pictures to help establish a sense of
the campus. A law student would simply have to know who the statue was
of...and now I do. Thanks for the extra links and thorough response.

FAST!

excellent fast work!

Thanks for the quick and accurate response, Pink.  However, some in my
office still aren't convinced.  I think they were hoping for some sort
of grammatically definitive answer (despite the grammatical shoddiness
of the words used).  But if it doesn't exist, what can you do?

Even more than I needed. Thanks!

Madame,

As always, you speak ze truth.

A rare accomplishment in these days of Consummmate Politicians.

And my thanks to Bambi.

But, next time, you require a name for a doggie, please ask me.

It could save future embarrassment.

Banmbi a dog? 

Now, I've heard EVERYTHING.

Within 6 minutes you had what I was looking for (the literary address
of a quote I heard in a current movie) and you gave me its derivation
and named possible sources (from well in the past.
Great job.  Thank you very much.

Hah! Such a ridiculously simple answer, and after all this time I
still never figured it out. This is why I didn't do too well on my
theoretical CS courses. ;-)

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the prompt response -- I
may now rest easy at night.

outstanding work

Only one of the results matched the request, but...that one was
spot-on and has been bought. Many thanks,H Sykes

Thanks! :-)

Pink

You've made my day ... many thanks!

And would you believe that Phil would have had me going to Virginia or
some place to buy a $4 plastic gizmo?

It would have cost me more to get there than buying a DOZEN real juicers!

Between you and me, I don't believe that Phil is a researcher. Please
have him checked out.

Many thanks.

Bryan

Perfect.

Thanks, Pink! You came through again, as usual.

That was it. Thank you very much for the prompt response.

Just what I was looking for.  Thanks
