Christmas 2012 name change competition

With the Christmas shopping now in full swing and AIBU full to the brim with Am I Being Unseasonables - we though it was time to dust off our Christmas jumpers nicknames and display them in true MN poncetastic style and invite you to show yours off too. Xmas Blush

Please post with your new nickname below and include your normal nickname in your post and we will enter you into our name change competition.

We will have a dig around in the cupboards for a prize for the best name change.

You have until Thursday 6th to post with your festive name and we will devise a shortlist with a poll for everyone to vote for their favourites on Friday 7th.

We will leave the poll up over the weekend and announce the winner on Monday 10th.

Xmas Grin

I do think some of the better names were missed off tbh but one of the ones that made me smile was there and that got my vote.

AfterEightMintyy · 07/12/2012 19:48

Yes, some of the better names were deffo left off.

I may sound bitter and that is because I am but why have you shortlisted some names that bear absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to the original poster?

FanjoTimeMammariesAndWine · 07/12/2012 19:49

There were about 100 good names IMO really, all the ones in shortlist are good Xmas Smile

I knew mine was crap.... bah humbug

LikeAVirginMary · 07/12/2012 22:10

Mintyy - are you referring to me?

BOFingSanta · 07/12/2012 22:12

I thought the relation of your Christmas name to your usual one was clever, LikeAVirginMary, if not immediately obvious.

LikeAVirginMary · 07/12/2012 22:40

Thank you, BOFingSanta. I did want to be simply LikeAVirgin but sadly someone used that as a name change once a couple of years ago so I was denied!

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 07/12/2012 23:06

Likeavirginmary, I love your name. I voted for it.

GoodKingWenSOLOslas · 08/12/2012 01:39

LikeAVirginMary · 08/12/2012 20:53

Thank you, ChoirOfAngels!! Much appreciated!

ChippingInAWinterWonderland · 08/12/2012 22:12

I voted for you Solo - I was the first one! I thought it was brilliant and I thought loads of people would follow my brilliant lead, but apparently they just aren't clever enough. Good Luck Xmas Smile

GoodKingWenSOLOslas · 09/12/2012 01:11

Aw shucks! ChippingIn thanks! ah well...made the shortlist and I'm dead chuffed about that and not bitter at all that I'm not going to win...

YulePutTatOnMyChristmasTree · 09/12/2012 12:29

I am well chuffed to have made my first ever shortlist

when I was Fruitshootsandheaves I could never think of anything witty to change to

thankyou to the 16 people who have voted for me so far Grin
