We now have our Christmas name change of 2010 shortlist.

Well, we say shortlist - it's a bit long Xmas Blush because, dammit, you're TOO GOOD at this!

You can check out the shortlist and then vote for your favourite name-change here.

We're going to announce the winner on Monday, so you only have today and the weekend to vote. Hurry, hurry!

Don't feel bad people, this is my first and only nomination in over 7 years and probably the last for at least another 7. Never won anything either or made the roundup.

Can't even take credit for my name but I am exultant in the fact that I exist Grin

ChristmasTrolleyRage · 18/12/2010 10:39

Thanks Dythlan! I feel the same way too!

SantaIsAnAnagramOfSatan · 18/12/2010 10:43

i can't believe i'm not shortlisted.

it's antisatanism.

nickeldonkeycarrymary · 18/12/2010 12:31

I'm sooo happy that people have voted for me! Xmas Grin

Thank you thank you thank you all !

Votes are still being counted. Xmas Grin

Go nickel!

ChristmasTrolleyRage · 18/12/2010 12:51

Remember my name sums up the true spirit of Modern Christmas.

Very apt.

Did I mention I still have the bruises to illustrate?

nickeldonkeycarrymary · 18/12/2010 13:04

are you Chaos?

Mine's telling the story of christmas though.

Might make your rage better?

Would you like a cup of tea?

nickeldonkeycarrymary · 18/12/2010 13:05

AnyFucker uses her name every single year.

that's not fair. Xmas Sad

She should be disqualified on that basis alone.

Nickel can I just mention that I couldn't think of a nicer opponent to come up against to win second place in this competition.

I'm falling behind. Xmas Sad
all my creativity thrown aside for a used, second-hand name. Xmas Sad

Vote Nickel

aBrightStarWithFestiveWays · 18/12/2010 14:13

Overlooked again. Pfft.

ChippingIn · 18/12/2010 14:26

It doesn't matter if AnyFucker has used the name before - sheer brilliance doesn't fade!

ChippingIn · 18/12/2010 14:28

Though Nickle - there should be a separate category for 'story' names Xmas Grin You are brilliant!!

mylifewithmangers · 18/12/2010 14:31

Oh Man, that's made my Christmas right there Xmas Grin SOB SOB

Not only in the shortlist, but I've got votes too Xmas Grin Xmas Grin Not many yet, but I'm sure my hordes of admirers are just minutes away. I've got a big hamper of Thorntons on it's way for Xmas, lots to go around, if you know what I mean Xmas Wink Xmas Wink

I'll also snog anyone willing to admit to voting for me Xmas Grin

Didn't vote for that AnyFucker - cos her names just a bit well, in your face 'n all. Not like those of us who like to bring a bit of subtlety to the occasion Xmas Wink

Am surprised Slubbers didn't make the shortlist, hers was funny (once she finally stopped namechanging)

HalleLouja · 18/12/2010 14:34

Vote for subtlety I agree mangers but I am subtle too.

I won a few good prizes in my NCT raffle I am happy to pass round. Have Neals Yard goodies, a free pedicure and a portable DVD player. Not that I am trying to bribe you all Xmas Wink

ChippingIn · 18/12/2010 14:36

Nothing wrong with being 'out there' - it's better than not being noticed Grin

nickeldonkeycarrymary · 18/12/2010 14:55

aww, ChippingIn, thank you! I love you! Xmas Grin

TheYuleLogLady · 18/12/2010 15:31

TheYuleLogLady · 18/12/2010 15:34

nickeldonkeycarrymary · 18/12/2010 15:57

YouKnowStuffingisforLunch · 18/12/2010 16:14
