Dickens namechange comp: please come and give your nickname an --Oliver-- twist!

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello. It's Dickens Bicentennial Day tomorrow (7th Feb), and we'd like to mark Charles Dickens' 200th birthday with a special Dickens Namechange competition.

All you need to do to enter is change your Talk nickname in a Dickens-ish way - with a ref to one of his novels or characters, for example - and then post on this thread to give your new name a twirl.

Top marks will go to those whose changes are the funniest, cleverest, Dickens-iest Oliver twist on their current Talk nickname.

There'll be some ("ever so 'umble") prizes for the best namechanges posted between now and midnight tomorrow.

So, off you go! Suffice to say, we have great expectations...

Too late, I've already swiped Haversham

Hmm. Mines a bit crap. Might think of a better one.
(Was Faverolles by the way)

Was iseenodust.
Thinks double cultural reference should do it

(From Dombey and Son)

Was CakeistheAnswer.

I was so pleased with this until I came to actually change it and realised to my utter pedantic horror that one can't use apostrophes in nicknames. Aaargh!

So, please imagine that it reads Carker'sTheChancer. Thankyou.

I would but for some reason I'm not allowed to name change!

Was Strawbezza.

First namechange - what fun!

It's from a short story about Mr. Meek's baby! So I suppose that's quite appropriate.

Dear God that's bad

GlaikitFizzog reporting for duty :o

Usually TheDogTheDogHes... well, you get the picture

Was FoofFighter - my most excellent and prizewinning namechange is topical in more than one way

I'm usually maydaychild.

Today, I look like Sydney Carton and live to see another day.
