But Jude is great, why has it been vetoed?

BrutusMcDogface · 11/03/2018 09:59

Thank you!! I like Ben but know about 15 of them at the moment Shock

Will have a good look through all the suggestions!

Are there any/many names that aren't shortenings? Eg I couldn't use William but don't think I could use just Will on a birth certificate. Thanks again!
