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...

Ok, so I'm normally EllenJaneisnotmyname.

Figgy I was so nearly FloraFRIGGingFinching

Hmmmm. what about this one? too obscure?

That's brilliant cervix

But then maybe I don't get a say in the 'is this to obscure' line of inquiry...

i'm liking it. i may keep it a bit.

I'm usually Solo of course!

CD referred to himself as The Inimitable.
Modesty was not his strong suit!

Tis I ChippyMinton btw

Don't normally partake in namechanging (unless I need to )
But can't resist an opportunity to tip my hat to the great Dickens

(Was SeenButNotHeard)

Aka BendyBob

Ta daah! I was formerly Cinnamon Star.

I am ahead of the times.

Best I can do :)

s'not fair I have crap name for witty nc and prizes are always awesome

I'd vote for deathorcakes I think

Collision here

at there being any doubt of who she actually is!!

Pickwikikkipapers - me too! Never read dickens despite English degree

Here's my contribution - rather fitting I thought...

Frigg that would have been pretty fing good! Wish had put the figgy in the middle now!

I can't bloody change as I can;t remember my login (I just stay permenently logged in.)

I would like to be ButWhyIsTheFAGINgone, though. :-)

I don't really know much about Dickens so this is the best I can do.

I can't do anything clever with my name. So I have Dickensed it. Or should that be Dickensianed it? Dickensian'd?

I was KatieMiddleton.

I imagine MissKittyMiddleton to be a kindly woman who has taken on a motherly role to the poor orphans who are part of a geriatric Jew's gang of thieves and beggars. Sort of like Karren Brady on The Apprentice. If you will.

Had to join this thread, how fab..had also to namechange from ExpatAgain to GreatEXPATations, sorry, couldn't resist!

Yes. I'm immature. :o

Evening all

Too obscure?
