Old-Fashioned Names for Guinea Pigs

Humphrey is an old name that might have faded completely were it not for that Bogie flair. A royal name in Britain, where it's used somewhat more frequently, Humphrey might just have some life beyond Bogart here, especially with the recent interest in the names of Golden Age Hollywood stars. His first name was the maiden name of his mother, Maud Humphrey, a well-known illustrator who used baby H. as a model.
 Humphrey was brought to England by the Normans and was made famous by Duke Humphrey, the fifteenth century Duke of Gloucester and youngest son of Henry IV, a noted patron of literature, who appears in Shakespeare's Henry IV. In other literature, Humphrey Wasp is a character in Ben Jonson's Bartholomew Fair, and the eponymous hero of Tobias Smollett's early novel Humphrey Clinker. In James Joyce's Finnegans Wake Humphrey Climpden Earwicker represents the everyman.
 Bottom line: An interesting name with a noirish edge.

Trudie is a charming feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Gertrude, which comes from Germanic elements meaning "spear" and "strength." This shortened version softens the more formal Gertrude, giving it a friendly, approachable quality. Popular in the early 20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries, Trudie has a vintage appeal that's beginning to see renewed interest among parents seeking nostalgic yet distinctive names. The name carries a sweet, unpretentious character while maintaining a connection to its strong historical roots. Often associated with trustworthiness and authenticity (possibly due to its phonetic connection to "true"), Trudie combines pleasant sounds with subtle strength.
