2008 Halloween name change competition

[GeraldineMumsnet]

With its very own thread, here's this year's competition.

Please post here with your Halloween name change. You've got until Friday Oct 24.

MNHQ will do a shortlist of our favourites on Mon 27 Oct, and put up a poll for you to vote for your favourite from the shortlist.

The winner will be announced on Friday 31 October.

And, like last year, the judges' decision will be final

Now I'll go and ask BigTech to press the button and unleash the Halloween emoticons.

Note this post has been edited to fix an incorrect date - as such some of what follows might not make much sense

Psycho chose mine - so the prize should go to her

Reason for new thread is we want it to be clear which is this year's. Sorry if that means you need to repost.

And, last but not least, we're going to wrestle the Halloween emoticons back into their box until next Monday (the 27th) so that we're not all sick of the sight of them.
