The reason why I immediately thought of "non-standard" size frames for photos
is that I have been studying various ways to frame things and build my own
frames using put-em-together-yourself type lengths of framing material.  I
can do 8x12 just as easily as I can do 8x10.  I just buy a 12" length instead
of a 10" length of material.

Thus Denys's info on actual dimension relationships lets me choose a frame
size based upon the real original size of the photo.  But then again maybe I
want to edit out something along the edges...

What selecting a frame size to work with also does for me is let me reuse one
frame for an exchangeable set of photos.  With digital photography, the
"original" is simply a file not a negative.  Thus I can print up photos
anytime I wish and using a pre-determined size for the photo and the frame, I
can effectively treat the printed photo as a disposable item.  It's just the
small cost of the paper and the ink.

Michael's craft store here in LA also carry these frames kits.  The ones that
I like are made by Larson-Juhl and come in all kinds of lengths in 1"
increments.  You can also find them at Aaron Bros. if they have stores around
the country as well.
