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...

Oh it has worked. I am unreasonably pleased: I have cast off my Bobbly Gussets to become, Knickerless, Ms Cackleby no less.

Tis I, AtYourCervix

ooh I am usually terrible at name changing but I quite like this one!!

Be I ever so humble, here I present myself, your worships.

Or I could revert to my former award-winning name CarolCervix? or would that e cheating?

Twirls. Now need chocolate.

I was magicwoodyallenzombiejesus

I was going to change to magicdavidcopperfieldwrongonejesus but too many letters.

Dombey and son is a book ive never heard of read
and Boses shortened to Bos was CDs nickname apparently
After that graham 'too much explanation' norton moment i am off to truffle out some choc - can't get twirls where i am : (

The amount of breastfeeding I am doing now with a wriggling minizombie means it really should have been Asail on two titties but never mind.

or looking around me eekhouse

From Our Mutual Friend.

Oh, I like that! The Golden Dustman

I'm not sure this name exactly lends itself to being Dickensian somehow. But if anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful :)

You're an acronym for QuilpEvilDwarf. QED

Well! this name was made for me; especially given my employ kind sir!!

Is anyone else reading these with gruff Dickensian voices?! or is it just me?

This was Almost too easy

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger

Am usually Fiderer. Now I want a wing collar and a top hat.

And a pie, washed down with a mug of ale.

Someone further down asks "Soup is that you?" No idea if I was who you thought or not but this is me.

Gotta love a bit o' Dickens... not terrbily inventive here but delivers my favourite quote in Oliver so it had to be...

Mr Brownlow states, "The law assumes that your wife acts under your direction."

To which Bumble replies, "If the law supposes that, then the law is a ass, a idiot! If that's the eye of the law, then the law is a bachelor. And the worst I wish the law is that his eye may be opened by experience."

have tweaked mine like it's gonna make a jot of difference

was JaneMare...

Hmm,not sure anyone will get it.....

These are all most excellent! Keep 'em coming please (and don't forget to tell us what your 'normal' Nickname is, too).

NessaRose here.
