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...

My change - and I used to be thin and pretty but now am as wide as I am tall and not quite the same as when I was 18

Actually not quite sure why I bothered as like (the older) Flora Finching I am neither witty or clever and never win when I do a name change

I was FumblingFreezingFingertips and many other name changes before that

I don't even know how to name change! But if I could then would change from clopper to david clopperfield

Clopper - go to my mumsnet, registration, put in your new name and hey presto you wil be davidclopperfield in no time!
