Release the bats and grab your broom
(Ignore the impending sense of doom)
Dust the cobwebs off the cat
Straighten up your pointy hat
It’s time to think of a spooky name
And join our annual name-change game...

Welcome, guys 'n' ghouls, to the 2018 Halloween Name Change Competition.

Enter by posting on this thread under your terrifying new name, which should be a clever play on your usual username.

You have until Friday 26 October to post on this thread with your name change, and we'll then create a poll of the ten best ones.

You can then vote for your favourite, which we'll announce on Tuesday 31st October. The winner will receive a load of old tat bundle of goodies from MNHQ.

Halloween Grin

UPDATE The poll is now live - cast a spell your votes nowawwwooooo.

AaahhwoooooOOOOooOOOOo - it's the Halloween name change spooktacular!

I'm torn between 2, Lady, but I'm going to sleep (upright) on it.

BlackWitchInChildWringing · 27/10/2018 23:51

Gargoyle - Yes, I'm sure he thinks he's suffering and been very bwave, but we know the harsh reality, don't we?! Poor chap. Halloween Grin

Fwend - Ok, ok, you've persuaded me to go easy on the wringing with you.

AFrayed - Halloween Confused

Harm - voting should be set up by Monday, gremlins willing.

Annie - I agree. I don't want to hexit the competition and think we need a People's Shortlist Halloween Grin

HarmMaimCharly · 27/10/2018 22:58

Yes !

BlackWitchInChildWringing Whilst milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard, pumpkins bring all the ghouls to the yard. I think sock puppets and trolls bring all the MNHQ to the yard.

LadyRochfordsSpikedGusset · 27/10/2018 21:25

Ooh oooooohhh know who I'm voting for 🎃.

Shriekingbanshee · 27/10/2018 21:21

Ah! Thanks thats one explained?

AFrayedOfHell · 27/10/2018 21:21

I mean was a character in the movie

AFrayedOfHell · 27/10/2018 21:20

Margo Channing was in the movie All about Eve

BloodyDraculcasonthis · 27/10/2018 21:18

Can someone explain one?

AllAboutHallowsEve
(margochanning)

The rest are plays on the original name, this one has nothing to do with the original name so I don't get it?

HarmMaimCharly · 27/10/2018 19:50

How do you vote ?

AnnieAnoniMouse · 27/10/2018 19:47

MNHQ

Next time, can we please vote for the shortlist? MNHQ always misses out some of the best ones!

Loved loads of them, but my favourite was yours...

TimeIhadaNameChange ... TombIhadaGraveChange

Grave Robbed you were...Grave Robbed!

I feel discriminated against because of my warts, boils and black teeth. Halloween Blush

Perhaps if I'd got a fake smile, plumped up lips and designer robes?! Halloween Angry

There's not much money these days in child wringing, you see. Haloween Sad

PhilomenaDeathsHeadHawkMoth · 27/10/2018 19:36

They're a bit X-rated BlackWitch.

BlackWitchInChildWringing · 27/10/2018 19:31

I don't think MNHQ appreciated my perky pumpkins. Probably ver jealous. Halloween Wink

Don't encourage her, Harm. Let her crawl back into her tacky grotto. Halloween Hmm
