Lol at sledworm. Would children look forward to christmas as much, do you think, if Santa's sled was pulled by a giant intestinal parasite?
oh, well erm.... um.... quite right too!
the wickercam was on shortlist !
TheWickerCam was worthy of a place on the shortlist surely! I think it was a stitch up.
i vote for cam, she would love manchester
sledworm, ooh you're so competetive adad
anyway, we are jumping the gun. No xmas names till december at the earliest!
yeah but she's normally threadworm, so maybe sledworm would be more like it!
Well done Shaunofthethread!

how come threadworm has 2 names in the shortlist or am I being dense ?
I also prefer the classic look. I thought it was just me last week using a laptop.
is it the 31st yet? i think mine has a certain elegant simplicity.
Poop, missed it. Didn't mean to post twice, lol. I don't like any of the shortlisted names either!
Was on holiday last week so only been able to post on this thread now. Hope i'm not too late! Mine usually is BexieID.

I am so untech I can't work out how to change my name, durr. But I would have changed it to JulesGhouls. Good, eh? But Shaun of the thread is my favourite.
Has MN Towers done the shortlist yet?

)OK - I admit to being receptive to bribery, and have done the survey. (And can I say, as a fellow market researcher, that it was pretty crap? Clearly written assuming that we all have young children and no way of really analysing responses by age of child)
But perhaps not the right place to make a criticism, and it's no skin off Mumsnet's noses if your clients can't design their questionnaires properly!
Another vote here for SeanoftheThread.

ooh manchester !
GreatGooglyMoogly in Halloween form here!
I have done the survey, but I found a couple of the questions difficult to answer, e.g. where do you live - I live in the East, not the SouthEast or Midlands, the EAST. Also the question about feeling guilty - I don't feel guilty about any of those things, which must mean either
a) I'm a perfect parent
or
b) I just don't care!

Here's my new name. Pertinent to a parenting forum, takes a bit of work to fathom who I am usually too, a bit of a riddle, getting the old grey matter going. Surely I deserve an honourable mention?
