Her recent work includes coming up with the name 'Parks' for a couple. This name also has a very sweet story behind it. The name was inspired by a town called Parker, where the couple had their first kiss.
Humphrey shares that there was once a situation where she had to talk a mother out of giving a particular name to her daughter.
The little girl’s name was Isla, and the mother was concerned that people would keep mispronouncing it. Humphrey was compensated for convincing the mother to stick with the name.

Humphrey says that the name regret is a real thing and is considered one of the biggest regret in recent years. In a TikTok video, she discussed the reasons a parent may end up regretting the name they’ve chosen.
Still, she doesn’t believe in mistakes when it comes to naming your babies.
“There are no mistakes in baby naming,” she said. “That’s my mantra. What if your child is meant to change the meaning of the name they have? There is a chance for transmutation and I think that’s really beautiful.”
