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.

What do I win???? and does Pan get an equally brilliant second prize - otherwise can we split it?

Not for me Carol - you won by a clear margin, but thank you. It's all yours!Grin
