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...

hasn't made too much effort as is not allowed to blardy win

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

Grin Keep em coming, folks!

We have spanking new copies of Claire Tomalin's Charles Dickens: A Life for the best namechanges...

Hi all,

After much deliberation and OlivierTwistMumsnet rudely asking for 'MORE' nominations while BestofHelenWorstofHelenMumsnet was rather indecisive, insisting philosophically that 'it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness' Confused we have whittled it down to a top eleven and feel rather like we need to 'Bring in the bottled lightning, a clean tumbler, and a corkscrew.'

The runners up are:

HaveYouTakenLeaveOfYourCervix
ShowOfUmblestAnds
Magwatch
MummyDotheboysHall
peasepuddingandsaveloys

and the five winners of the books are:

BecauseImCratchit
FruitShootsAreALittleHorrit
RaahhtfulDodger
Missbabyheaversham
PickwicKikkiPapers

Congratulations to the winners, we will PM you shortly.
