Quick! Come and vote for your favourite Christmas namechange

OK, after a frantic few minutes of unseemly arguing hours of deliberation at MNHQ, here is the shortlist of contenders for the title of Mumsnet's Best Christmas Namechange 2011.

The shortlist is final and the shortlist judges can't be swayed, even by chocolate so no argy bargy please

Please come and vote for the namechange you think is the funniest/smartest.

The poll closes at midnight on December 23rd. And a small but perfectly formed prize is being rustled up for the winner.

Oh there's at least 3 on there I like. I don't know what to put now. Off to cogitate.

I voted so do something for me and sign up for this www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_campaigns/1361867-EDCM-Campaign-against-cuts-to-benefits-paid-to-parents-of-disabled-children?msgid=29103549

Shame there were some cracking namechanges on the original list that were far more deserving of some of the changes - not the PEOPLE before people get knicker twisting - but because they aren't regs....? Biscuit

ExitPursuedBySanta · 22/12/2011 15:09

Voted. There are three I liked as well, and they are currently neck and neck. Oooh, isn't this exciting.

etJeviensEntretesReindeers · 22/12/2011 15:18

I voted for Carol. It was her or Pan.

No, i don't care if I've already had loads of attention this year

nickelhadababyYesLord · 22/12/2011 15:26

DH is upset for me too.
he said "well, I thought it was a good name"

Hassledge · 22/12/2011 15:34

Just in case there is any lingering doubt, my name is Has Sledge.

As in - I once was hassled, but am now tranquil because Santa has bought me a snow-transportation vehicle/thing. Surely that's worth a vote?

FanjoForTheReindeerJumper · 22/12/2011 15:46

it's probably not because the people werent regs, but because they did not post on this thread AvaAdventKalendar..bit icky to make comments on this thread though about who has been chosen IMO

XmasFayreToMiddlin · 22/12/2011 15:50

I've cast my vote.

Lots of good ones this year so it must have been difficult to come up with a short list but my favourite is there anyway.

FanjoForTheReindeerJumper · 22/12/2011 15:52

yes the ones on there are really good eventhoughtheyarenotmine--

FanjoForTheReindeerJumper · 22/12/2011 15:53

and i cant do strikethroughs even after all this time

MrsKwaziipanFruits · 22/12/2011 16:02

Done! Thanks MNHQ Xmas Grin

ErinNordmanfirandMistletoe · 22/12/2011 16:03

do it all in one go

like this

FanjoForTheReindeerJumper · 22/12/2011 16:07

ah ok

FanjoForTheReindeerJumper · 22/12/2011 16:07

thanks, i will do loads now just cos i can

TheAnnoyingSatsuma · 22/12/2011 16:13

A couple of good new ones, but some of them are last years' leftovers surely - Pan, Soupy?

CarolCervix is fab, but OneHandWrapping is inspired - sums up Xmas for me any way .

oh mines is massively revamped into a singy-songy version from years ago.

and IF I win, I demand my prize as a date with BelleMadamSansMerci. She's been flirting outrageously with me for months, so it's time for a little mistletoe and romance.Wink

AnAirOfHope · 22/12/2011 16:29

I'm not voting as i'm not on it :-p
