Thank you to all who entered our Olympic namechange competition

Following lengthy debate and deliberation here at MNHQ, we have devised a not-so-shortlist of 15 contenders for the Gold medal in the Olympic namechange heats.

Please see the shortlist and vote for your favourite.

Thank you to all who took part, you're all winners not really Grin
Thanks Thanks Thanks Torch

The poll will close at midnight on Friday 3 August No appeals to be re-marked will be entered into.

Ok, what am I doing wrong - can select my choice, but don't seem able to actually vote!

Tee2072 · 01/08/2012 13:05

There's no 'enter' button to register your selection...

Voted.

I loved reading all the Olympic name changes - some really clever and great names. Grin

MollicoddledMedalist · 01/08/2012 15:41

Ooops changed my mind, they are all very clever though :)

TheOneWithTheGoldMedals · 01/08/2012 17:02

Can I vote twice?

VicarGoingForGoldInKungFu · 01/08/2012 17:06
Sad

i never get nominated for nowt......

sob. sniff. i thought mine was a witty pun on my usual name.....not even worthy of a mention......

BradleyWigeons · 01/08/2012 17:26

Vote for me! Grin Torch

Not only has my namesake just won a GOLD MEDAL but I am also an Olympics volunteer at the Olympic Park, and thus extra-specially Olympic-y.

FoofHundredMetreFreestyle · 01/08/2012 17:37

Grin Shock Bradley Wigeons! That's shameless.

Not allowed. Is it? Is it MNHQ? It's not alloooowwwed.

BradleyWigeons · 01/08/2012 17:48

Grin Blush I may be slightly over-excited as this is only my second ever name change (the other was for the Golden Jubilee - CoronationWigeon) in 4 years of mumsnetting.

TwiggysWittyOlympicNameChange · 01/08/2012 17:50

I was going to be BradleyTwiggins (I'm usually PassTheTwiglets) but I thought I'd go with the anti-joke :)

VicarGoingForGoldInKungFu · 01/08/2012 17:55

oh decisions decisions!! Grin

SparklingGoldMedals · 01/08/2012 17:56

Sad We won two of me today as well. Mine wasn't clever enough obviously.

AGiraffeOnTheDivingBoard · 01/08/2012 18:16

I feel all amazed and excited to even get on short list and have absolutely no one to tell. I did tell DD (aged 2). She really couldn't have been less interested.
