"Humphra" as a forename

I would welcome comments pls.

I am currently transcribing the joint will of Humphra Qualtrough and his daughter Isabel who both died in June1720 at Rushen.

As I have not come across the forename Humphra before in my Qualtrough research, and the will gives no indication of his wife's name (she is nominated as executrix), I am intrigued as to whether this forename is a substitute for some other.

eg "Hugh" for Ewan or William as has occurred in the Qualtrough family.

Any suggestions welcome please.
Thank you

Elizabeth
