OK, after a frantic few minutes of unseemly arguing hours of deliberation at MNHQ, here is the shortlist of contenders for the title of Mumsnet's Best Christmas Namechange 2011.

The shortlist is final and the shortlist judges can't be swayed, even by chocolate so no argy bargy please

Please come and vote for the namechange you think is the funniest/smartest.

The poll closes at midnight on December 23rd. And a small but perfectly formed prize is being rustled up for the winner.

Well i voted for deep pan cos i am going to pizza hut on xmas day (live away tis crap). Tis veryclose between her and carol at the moment.
But i wouldve voted for jeviens cos i am cultured and all that innit.
Or for newbie natalie aka 999helpmypuddingsonfire but she didn't put herself forward.

Good luck pan/carol.

Well, I voted for Team - gotta keep the TwiSlut unity! Also, I like names where I can still tell what the poster's real name is because I am thick

DeePanCrisPandEeeven · 22/12/2011 20:58

mybrain - thank you for your vote, but her is a him.Smile

festivefireworks · 22/12/2011 21:04

Voted for DeePan as in awe of working name in twice - very nice.

ExitPursuedBySanta · 22/12/2011 21:17

Pan is a man Xmas Shock Can i have my vote back.......

ExitPursuedBySanta · 22/12/2011 21:17

Only joking Xmas Wink

Hassledge · 22/12/2011 21:23

Which is worse - not getting on the shortlist, or getting on the shortlist and coming last? It's a toughie.

mybrainsthinkingfuckyousanta · 22/12/2011 21:38

Ah bless. Will get my other half to log in and give you one (a pity vote that is!)Xmas Wink

Sorry pan not that you are a man but that I just assumed you were a lass.
Bad (fuckyou) Santa.

Lidl Donkey whose name i have just seen elsewhere but not here. That is superb. x

SantasStrapon · 22/12/2011 21:43

I liked AChristmouseTail and WhatIsMincePi. Neither of them were shortlisted. WhatIsMincePi is fucking genius.

Link doesn't work on iPhone app Sad

ObviouslyLovesTinsel · 22/12/2011 21:54

I came on here to vote for SantasStrapon. She'll surely win, I thought. She's not even on the bloody list!!!!!

snicicle · 22/12/2011 22:22

Blimey! I'm thrilled to be on the shortlist, thank you MNHQ
Voted for OneHandWrapping though

winnybella · 22/12/2011 22:34

WTF? Shock SantasStrapon is clearly a winner this year. Not even on the list???

Am not voting in protest.

CarolCervix · 22/12/2011 22:46

Ahem. I think it is a truly fine list of names. A bit Xmas Shock that SantasStrapon isn't on there so I voted for myself Xmas Grin and HURRAH!

DeePanCrisPandEeeven · 22/12/2011 22:50

I didn't see FAQuennelleitsnearlychristmas, Carol. So I voted for myself too.

MrsChristmasDB · 22/12/2011 22:58

I would just like to point out that the person/s responsible for not putting my name onto the short list, are now on the naughty list.

I suppose it serves me right for offering bribes.

That'll learn me.

crumbs it IS close! last time I looked Carol was off in the distance.

CarolCervix · 22/12/2011 23:24

a moment of almost winning glory and i missed it. damn.

StealthPolarBear · 22/12/2011 23:54

Thwarted, again. This had better be like pass the parcel MNHQ - we'd better all get to win eventually =, if we stick around long enough.

StealthPolarBear · 22/12/2011 23:56

how can mine be so far behind :( FWIW I think OneHandFlapping is a fantastic pun in the first place, and then turns extremely well into a festive pun. And now I'd better go and get on with my wrapping.

tistheseasalt · 23/12/2011 00:21

OK I have cast my vote.

MmeReindor · 23/12/2011 08:16

Oh, difficult as there are so many that I like.

Would not like to have to choose from the longlist to get it to the shortlist cause there were some fab names this year and there are always people who whinge about not being picked

HedleyLamarr · 23/12/2011 08:53

Babyheave should've been there too. Hers were another nc that made me Grin.

BicNoddyHolder · 23/12/2011 09:04

voted - love OneHandWrapping - would have voted for nickelbabe's if had been shortlisted though as made me laugh loudly in a nostalgic way Xmas Grin
