The Mumsnet Halloween Name Competition - no tips required

[OliviaMumsnet]

Here at MNHQ, we hear your pleas and respond to them.

We know how you all love to get in the "spirit" of things with your festive name changes, so we're giving you an opportunity to show them off in the Mumsnet Halloween Name Competition.

Please sign in here with your Halloween name change.

MNHQ will make a shortlist of our favourites at the weekend, and then there will be a Mumsnet poll on which everyone can vote. The winner will be announced on the 31st October.

Please note: the judge's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
GOOD LUCK
MNHQ

...candles gutter in the draught...dripping wax down the black candelabrum...swirly puddles and heaps of candlewax on the floor...

if any of you say that changing MaeBee to Raebees (rabies) is lame, i'll bite the other leg...

oh and does this mean i've entered?
can get to manchester for £4.50 on the coach from leeds, is it just a trip to manc, or are there any more details about it!?

I am VioletBaudelaire.
In my aggressive, ill-treated, hunchbacked manservant Halloween guise!

Lacking inspiration...I still like ThreadyKreuger too

I forgot to tell you about the prize! It is indeed a trip to Manchester, but lest we forget, this is more a matter of honour and glory than the actual prize (think Mastermind).

Nevertheless it's a fab weekend break and details of the prize are here.

Keep em coming and good luck!

erm somehow I don't think that you're going to pay for a weekend in Manchester for me...

so it's a good thing for you that my name is shit

what if you have 3 childrenAlthough could hide dd2 in a bag

OMG - the prize involves shopping...might have to withdraw my name. Far too dangerous!
However, Salford Quays IS one of those places I've never been to, even though it's just up the road.

[dashes off to find Halloween-type inspiration]

is that the prize - a trip to Manchester ? where does it say that ?

oh thanks - didn't see that bit !

I haven't changed any letter but it looks so different! Looked better with a hyphen though. MrsCarrot

Very clever Mrscarrot!

Thank-you, JV, yours isn't bad either - though I hated that book with the piggy eyes.

oh tres clever mrs C

Oh no!!! Olivia,if I win could I have a little trophy instead?
Travel is not my thing with triplets!!!!

Did we perchance mention that we think by far the wittiest names are those chosen by folk who've filled in our survey?

this is dolally's pathetic attempt

is that the same one as the haiku survey - do we do it again?

Done!!! So what about the trophy then?

I have just done the survey

You can do it more than once for different children... (Thanks!)

Done

Zombies on Broadway (1945) was a good film
