We now have our Christmas name change of 2010 shortlist.

Well, we say shortlist - it's a bit long Xmas Blush because, dammit, you're TOO GOOD at this!

You can check out the shortlist and then vote for your favourite name-change here.

We're going to announce the winner on Monday, so you only have today and the weekend to vote. Hurry, hurry!

Yay. NorfolkBronzeTurkey for the win.

HecTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 17/12/2010 16:34

hurumph.

I don't think you got the sheer brilliance of my namechange joke.

I am defecting to Netmums.

I never make the round up.
I never make quote of the week.
I never get named in the mners you want to kiss up to lists.
I have never won a competition.

I am clearly not appreciated.

nobody likes me, everybody hates me, think I'll go and eat worms. Long ones, short ones, thin ones, thick ones, worms that wiggle and squirm...

If anyone wants me, I'll be on NM under the name fluffyhunniwunnibun.

nickeldonkeycarrymary · 17/12/2010 16:35

Hecate - will you please vote for me?
I'm telling a story

HecTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 17/12/2010 16:36

Sorry. Can't hear you.

I am busy creating tickers

nickeldonkeycarrymary · 17/12/2010 16:38

please! i love you!

PosieParkhersleigh · 17/12/2010 16:43

Am joining Hec.

39 minutes since my last wee, alcoholic, loves butter, two days until my next wank.

nickeldonkeycarrymary · 17/12/2010 16:43

Posie - you could vote nickel too! (hun Xmas Grin )

TheNextMrsClaus · 17/12/2010 16:46

Nickeldonkey - desperation is never a good look.Xmas Wink

nickeldonkeycarrymary · 17/12/2010 16:55

yes it is Xmas ShockXmas Sad

PuzzleRockinAroundTheXmasTree · 17/12/2010 16:56

Hec - I don't give a monkeys about not being nominated. Apparently the prize is neither gold, nor frankincense nor myrrh so who cares eh?

HelenMumsnet · 17/12/2010 17:04

Ahem, Hec, did you actually put your name down as an entry?

OP posts:
HecTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 17/12/2010 17:07

Blush was there a thread?

I started one a couple of weeks ago, asking about it! You said you were going to do the comp once you'd decided on a prize.

Shock did you hide the nominate thread from me?

Your campaign against me just gets worse and worse...

rudolphscarrotcakeywakey · 17/12/2010 17:10

Carrot cake not a good enough bribe then eh? Eh?

nickeldonkeycarrymary · 17/12/2010 17:10

hhhhmmm! if you don't nominate yourself and someone doesn't nominate you, you can't be in it.

If it makes you feel any better, I spent aaaaages looking for the official thread (which someone linked to on your thread, you muppet! Xmas Grin )

ItsKurriiiistmas · 17/12/2010 17:11

I missed the nominations thread, and I vaguely looked out for it too. Now I'm too late and next year I won't be able to think of a name.Probably. Xmas Sad

FlightoftheCrimbleTree · 17/12/2010 17:12

Erm, quite a few of the nominees were on last year's shortlist too - are you aware of that at headquarters?

They are great names, given! Xmas Smile

HecTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 17/12/2010 17:14

hahahahaha! That's just typical me, nic.

rudolphscarrotcakeywakey · 17/12/2010 17:15

Fine!

PosieParkhersleigh · 17/12/2010 17:25

This is like an ITV competition.

39 minutes since my last wee, alcoholic, loves butter, two days until my next wank.

HelenMumsnet · 17/12/2010 17:41

The nomination/entry has been stickied for the last two or three days at least. Get yer specs on!

And yes, we have repeated some names from last year - cos they were good, innit?

HelenMumsnet can I bribe you with some freshly made mince pies on behalf of Bronze? DS only sneezed in a few of them...
