Quick! Come and vote for your favourite Christmas namechange

[HarktheHelenMumsnetAngelsSing]

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.

wow - it gets closier and closier, said Alice.

hmmmm. should I round up support with a maniFesto? (did you see what I did there? Fest? as in Festive???? boom boom!!!)

I voted for carol because her normal posting name is inspired anyway

have just pushed carol into the lead. gonna be a close one :)

Hurrah all round.

Oh my goodness. It's neck and neck.

It's going to be photo finish!

mind you, think mines pretty good

I'd like to offer to share the rustled up prize IF we are just a couple of points apart, or indeed with anyone else who makes a gallop on the final furlongs.

I didn't even make it to the starting line

Its a deal Pan.

Hurray!!

anh Hurrah!

oh thats a nice gesture!

have some of these

Weel, Carol's name is funny throughout the year. Ironic that she is a gynaecologist and I am a pizza delivery boy. Odd.

just choked on my mince pie.

although Pag came up with my original one but theis one is all my own very excellent work.

Another vote for LidlDonkey! (Don't think she entered, though )

Thanks for liking mine DeePan. It made me laugh . I would like to say I voted for you in return but I had already chosen snicicles. Good luck though, it's going to be edge of the seat stuff to the end.

you're welcome,Fah. I haven't looked for a while so it will be a surprise for later. I do like AtYourCervix - but less so today.

SS should be on the list she's the winner by a country mile.

In lieu of the festive dildo-ed one, I have decided to cast my vote for Pan, as he makes me think of pizza....

and Christina Rossetti.

Oh its close!

ooh still so close!

As it is so close, how about all us voters who voted for certain names that are now out of the running now get a second vote?

That is worded so badly. I hope you know wht I mean!
