Default Mini Cobra!
We just had our 20 week scan and we can now confirm that a Mini Cobra is on the way (as opposed to a Mini XRchic). It is a boy, beyond any doubt (trust me, we couldnt miss it). According to the radiographer, it was particularly wriggly - and yes, it does move A LOT!

We are having a lot of trouble deciding on a boy's name though... any good suggestions?

Anyway, here is a pic (no, not of its doodle!):

Shelby would be a cool name for a little Ford fan.

A few Ford related ones:- Lincoln, Carter, Luke(y), Ford history is full of them!!!

Why not shun the current Hollywood trend of stupid hippy dumbarse names and go for some of the lesser used old classics like :

Reginald
Wilbur
Bertrum
Harold
Walter
Bruce
Hector
Horatio

... or if you insist on being different, how about some historical favourites like :

Agamemnon
Copernicus
Beelzebub
Mephistopheles
Xenu

Ahhhh thank you Mr Sparkle!!! He he. Beelzebub means the devil!!!! ROFL.

We originally were going to call a boy Marcos, but since he is going, then thats silly. So it looks like it might be Toby... still undecided though, really.

Hmmm Ben... Edsel??? Dodgy.... :P

Congrats guys.

How about a combo of both your names.... Jamon? (pronounced Jay-m'n)? Sounds pretty cool and very original.

Yes, we are still undecided as of yet. I think we are just going to have to ignore what relatives etc think, because they cant be pleased... some good ideas on here though - except for Ben! Edsel... geesh. :P

Dan, Eamon took your comment very seriously and went off to sulk... hehe. Just kidding! :P

Might see some of you this weekend at dyno day - we will be there, somehow! Watch out anyone who is entering an NA 6! Hehe.

Jac
