Oh yes, we are spoiling you.
So, even though the emoticons haven't got their hats yet, we know how much you like to get into the spirit of Christmas, so we're arranging a festive name change competition and the winner will win a fabbo Camcorder and a copy of Evan Almighty on DVD.

So, what do you need to do?

Post your Christmas name and your usual posting name so everyone can see how clever you are on this thread.

MNHQ will make a shortlist and there will then be a poll on which you can vote to determine the winner.

(who needs X Factor and Strictly, eh?!)

Good Luck!

Thanks for putting me out of my misery Olivia - Ten lords gets my vote.
Am v disappointed given lots of people on this thread mentioned mine was a good one!!

Kathyate6mincepies · 19/12/2007 12:05

Oh no, I was going to vote for ExDH'sNuts!

ExDhsNutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 19/12/2007 12:07

Now I know how Rhydian felt on Saturday at not winning X Factor (well except there was a bit more at stake there and my hairdo isn't quite so dodgy)....

ExDhsNutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 19/12/2007 16:52

Ah I've noticed all the shortlisted ones are versions of their original names - so because mine wasn't maybe it doesn't count.

Ah well, maybe next time....exdh sulks off to go and buy her own blardy camcorder....

ooo i came up with pan's name last year.

I'm sure he'll be fine about a sort of time-share arrangement with the camera if he wins. Only kidding of course...

half the cash equivalent will be just fine.

go pan go!

aDadTidingsWeBring · 19/12/2007 17:06

but i think finbar's is the one for me...

Myrrhcy · 19/12/2007 17:06

Nuts, the first time I saw your name I genuinely did LOL!

HappyChristmasWalrusIsOver · 19/12/2007 17:08

OMG, I am on The List

It's an honour, even though I probably won;t win

SantaKLAWs · 19/12/2007 17:10

They forgot to put me on the List!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

katierocket · 19/12/2007 17:10

ExDhsNutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire - I think that's the point isn't it?, that's it a clever take on your original name.

TenLordsaLapin · 19/12/2007 17:21

ExDH'sNuts, I would have voted for you!

I think it's the "change on your normal name" thing maybe? so the trick is to spend all this year posting as "ExDhsNuts" and then reinstate your Christmas one for next year's comp!

ItNeverDidMeAnyHarm · 19/12/2007 17:42

Can we have a Big Brother/X factor/I'm a Celebrity scenario?

The person with the least votes gets voted off/evicted

TinyTimLivesinVictorianSqualor · 19/12/2007 17:42
