    .. Mmm - can't decide between Kevin, Neville and Derek...maybe I could change Benjamins name by deed poll....

    My mum told me I should pick a name that can be "babyfied" (like Rhys becoming Rhysy).. apparently Kevin wasn't a suitable name :p

    I like that and Skarloey but I think considering the reactions Edgar got I'd be for the jump :rotfl:

    Erm... not so much ;)

    We would have had a William Thomas... But hubby say's he's gone off it now... Considering it took us until I was 4 days overdue with Caitlyn to actually pick a back up boys name... I think we'll struggle next time!

    Maz - I really like Benjamin, would you consider it as a first name?
    Benjamin William is really nice - I think #2 might be called that as OH likes Benjamin & his middle name is William, well, he has 2 and the other one is John but I suspect I've heard Benjamin John somewhere before? :think: :rotfl:

    Mm thats an idea. Cant have John at all due to alot of history in OH's family concerning the name.

    Henry was actually my Grandpas name and if we have William that was my Grandads middle name. Looking through all the Thomas books the other day as Henry has all 50... Hubby said jack as well the other day but thats definately in top 20 eh SB?

    Yes it is which is why its Jamie's middle name! :D.

    William is a lovely name and in my family too. Would people possibly call him Will, Bill or Billy?!

    Does anybody know where I can find a frame that has 1 portrait and 1 landscape 'slot'?

    I don't think I have ever seen one but if there is such a thing it would be perfect for putting the boys pics in. Doing a frame each for DSS and Benjamin for their bedrooms :D

    MFD I've not seen one with just 2 slots, do you have a framing shop near? or if your confident with a craft knife make your own mount?
