Gather round you coven of witches,
For the chance to win some Mumsnet riches,*
As it's that time of year once more,
When (plastic) ravens croak and monsters roar,
And the un-dead climb out from their tomb,
When the night takes on an eerie gloom,
Mumsnetters have but one ambition - to win the Halloween name change competition....

Welcome, you spooky lot, to the 2019 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 Monday 28th October to post on this thread with your name change, and we'll then create a shortlist of the ten best ones.

You can then vote for your favourite, which we'll announce on Thursday 31st October. The winner will receive a bundle of goodies from the MNHQ cupboard of treats.

UPDATE The poll is now live so cast your vote nowooooooo!

Bats of a feather...

Thanks @FranneKipankinstein but some of us won't be needing it.

Thanks @EyeSpiesArousedSuccubus I'm surprised she's not posting photos of pumpkins with Santas carved into them. I'm just sharpening my teeth, flying up across the border after her pp. Brace yerself lassie.

Then I'm off to join @abatculledjohn to Trick or Trick MNHQ.

Good luck everyone!

I might just have to change to abatculledMNHQ for the lack of a nomination.

hmmm the poll seems to be working our end - it might be taking its time updating the votes but we'll keep an eye on it.

FranneKipankinstein · 29/10/2019 13:39

Early days @bleedinggrowler
Thanks!

Hah! MN have changed it now so you can see the full graph!

You are in the lead Frannekipanstein

bleedinggrowler · 29/10/2019 13:18

We can only see the left hand edge of the graph, where a single or more votes gets the graph line as far as number one (shown at top right). If we could see further to the right we would see the full length of the lines.

ChicCauldron · 29/10/2019 13:13

If you vote, the page with the results is wrong - but if you click on the link in the thread for checking the results if you haven't voted, that seems to be better although one short of the total given.

FranneKipankinstein · 29/10/2019 13:06

I think you have to get a vote before on the graph .
Did you curse it ESAS ?

FranneKipankinstein · 29/10/2019 13:02

There are 13 (unlucky for some)

EyeSpiesArousedSuccubus · 29/10/2019 13:01

Someone cursed it. Halloween Wink

bleedinggrowler · 29/10/2019 12:57

It's not Raven its now saying 12 yet still only 4 showing on the graph

EyeSpiesArousedSuccubus · 29/10/2019 12:56

Same. 'Total 12' but only 4 showing.

ScreamingCosArgosHaveNoRavens · 29/10/2019 12:42

@YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet The poll doesn't seem to be displaying correctly for me. It says at the bottom 'total 10 votes' but only 4 votes are showing on the graph.

EyeSpiesArousedSuccubus · 29/10/2019 11:27

BoooooooOOoooOooooOooo!!!!!

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 29/10/2019 11:16

Thanks so much to everyone for getting into the spirit of Halloween. Halloween Grin

You're all such clever and witty ghouls but we've somehow managed to narrow it down to thirteen spooktacular finalists...

The poll is now live - so vote for your favourite nowoooooooo!

EyeSpiesArousedSuccubus · 29/10/2019 10:11

Steady on, Franne. Dismembering yersel like that is some kinky shit.

Will nobody think of the pumpkins! 🎃

FranneKipankinstein · 29/10/2019 09:49

That had me in stitches ...and bolts ESAS

EyeSpiesArousedSuccubus · 29/10/2019 09:44

🎤🎶 Oh, the dungeon downstairs is frightful
But the screams are so delightful
And since we've no fucks to give
Don't let 'em live, don't let 'em live, don't let 'em live

Especially for youwooooo @BlackBatInBloodSucking Halloween Grin[santa]

BlackBatInBloodSucking · 29/10/2019 00:19

I'm also wondering after your pp @RageAgainstBojosHalloween whether to do my It Must Not Yet Be Mentioned Christmas name change thread again this year, or whether to leave it to MNHQ as that way there might be Prizes Involved Free Clutter n Tat. As some will remember, I'm allergic to the C word until the end of November/beginning of December so watch this space or not Halloween Wink
