Okay, I know my name ruffles feathers. MNHQ sent me a (very nice) email back in February asking if I would consider changing it, I have only just seen the email Blush

I said to MNHQ that I might throw it open to a poll. They said probably not a good idea because people who would prefer me to change it might be reluctant to admit it for fear of being called a prude. So here's the deal; you can be honest. If you think I should revert to CupcakesandBunting say so and no-one will call you a prude here. If you'd like my present name to stay say so too. No-one will call you a potty-mouthed numpty. Also, if you couldn't give a crap, you can say so too Wink

I don't give a crappity crap Grin

poorbuthappy · 15/07/2011 23:03

keep it!

MumblingRagDoll · 15/07/2011 23:04

I feel that your current name has become almost as twee as the original version. I think that the shock value has worn off now and that you should think up a totally new, cunt-based name. I enjoy the rude names on here.

Meh

Doesn't ruffle my feathers at all- I like it, kind of witty (not trying to be a crawly bum-lick or anything!) and I for one am adult enough to cope with some sweary words. CupcakesandBunting isn't nearly as good, IMO.

crazynanna · 15/07/2011 23:05

It's just a name Smile Could be worse...could be MatthewWrightTheTwat

dolldaggabuzzbuzz · 15/07/2011 23:05

I like your name.

worraliberty · 15/07/2011 23:05

what shakey said Grin

MumblingRagDoll · 15/07/2011 23:06

You could be TheCuntOftheLitter.

echt · 15/07/2011 23:06

Like sCUNThorpe.

TidyDancer · 15/07/2011 23:07

You must keep it. Bunting Airlines doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it? Grin

Honestly? I don't actually personally mind.

But I feel a society where such names are celebrated is the thin end of the wedge (do I win "po-faced bingo"?).

Also there's the age-old "DC seeing thread titles and last poster" arguement.

GreenEyesandHam · 15/07/2011 23:09

I don't like your name, because I don't like

'bupcakes'

It doesn't roll off the tongue, it sounds wrong. Deadly serious btw, I think it sounds odd.

Hasn't a cunt based name thread been done before.
Bupcakes please don't change your name. It is a DELIGHT to me every time I see it. It's bloody gorgeous. It's like one of those greetings cards with the 1950s housewife on it and a filthy caption. Cunting fabulous.

usualsuspect · 15/07/2011 23:10

I don't know [pissed]

I don't like the look at me I'm swearing names though

MonaLotte · 15/07/2011 23:11

I like your name, the first time I saw it I thought it was funny rather than offensive. I say keep it :)

EffinNell · 15/07/2011 23:12

It's also possible you have got a self-selecting sample in your poll by posting at 11pm on a friday night.

aftereight · 15/07/2011 23:13

Hmm, whilst I do smile when I read your name, maybe time for a little update? CupcakesAndTwunting?

personally,i like it.

MumblingRagDoll · 15/07/2011 23:17

Well since cupcakes and bunting are rather passe iin terms of home decor...why don't you/we decide what accesories are the latest thing...and have a shint new cunty name based on that?

Sossiges · 15/07/2011 23:17

I think it's a great name, keep it and AnyFucker if you're there, don't go changing either Grin
