Thank you to all who entered our Olympic namechange competition

Following lengthy debate and deliberation here at MNHQ, we have devised a not-so-shortlist of 15 contenders for the Gold medal in the Olympic namechange heats.

Please see the shortlist and vote for your favourite.

Thank you to all who took part, you're all winners not really Grin
Thanks Thanks Thanks Torch

The poll will close at midnight on Friday 3 August No appeals to be re-marked will be entered into.

Yup, special prize for OYBBK.

We can't give prize for dodgy weather forecasting (cloudy with a sunny spells and a chance of rain anyone? Grin) so she needs a consolation prize for not being picked for the shortlist.

That's ok, I know I'm a winner in my imagination

Standing ovation for OYGGB. The bench is filling up. Grin

BiscuitNibbler · 02/08/2012 22:23

You were robbed, OYGGB.

OhYouGreatGreatBritain · 02/08/2012 21:23

Grin just send it via courier to Windsor castle. I'll have one of my maids pick it up.

TeamGlaikitBritain · 02/08/2012 21:21

OYGGB I have a bag you can have it was free it was given to me today by. Lovely woman in a shop. It's a new up and coming designers Al Di and Li Dell :o you might have heard of them!

FasterHigherBeardierDaddyman · 02/08/2012 13:40

The list of prizes makes me feel better about the lack of nomination for my inspirational name change. None of those handbags are really very me Grin

SparklingGoldMedals · 02/08/2012 13:18

Look what you could have won. Sad

My favourite is in the lead though. Smile

youarewinning · 02/08/2012 12:59

Love the prizes.

I'd be aiming for silver medal!

Apologies to the bench sitters, we will have a Hallowe'en NC before you know it Grin

On another note we have been approached by the lovely folks at Knomo London who have offered us some gorgeous prizes.

The GOLD medal winner will receive this beauty.

The SILVER medallist will look rather dashing with this, the Olympia tote

and bringing up the rear the BRONZE medallist will take home this as a treat.

Please keep on voting for your favourites to bag the bags - it's going to be a photo finish for silver and bronze places.
