Why have you dragged yet another zombie thread from its grave?

There are now 3 name competition threads and 2 of them are from 2007!

You have all your namechanges for life, don't worry - no one else can use them.

Don't worry no one can pinch your name (at least I'm pretty sure they can't... will check... Tech!)

If you change your name do you still retain your old name for when you want to change it back, or is it then free for someone else to take it over and pretend to be you?

I should think so - we could pick a shortlist and MNetters could then vote in a poll. Am sure Olivia can come up with a nice prize.

Add your message here

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
