Christmas 2012 name change - VOTE HERE

[RebeccaTheHallsMumsnet]

HO-HO-HO Merry Christmas

We have thought long and hard while drinking brandy and eating mince pies here at MNHQ and whittled it down to a whopping 14 finalists - the standard was very high indeed this year, thank you all for getting into the Christmas spirit.


Please vote for the ONE Christmas nickname change you like best - we've put the original nicknames next to the new ones, so you can admire/judge/snort at the wittiness of the changes.


This poll will close at midnight on Mon 10th Dec

And don't forget to pop over to the Christmas appeal thank you thread for a warm Christmassy glow.

[GoodKingWenSOLOslas]

pleased? moi?!!

[TeeElfOnTeeShelf]

My goodness, Hec has taken the lead!

It's very close.

This is very exciting.

::not bitter about nearly being last, again::

::really::

::I'm not::

[Smeggnog]

Oh my giddy aunt. I amadeus the shortlist .

Off to vote now, some really great names there. No SantasStrapon though is it still too norty?

[Smeggnog]

Amadeus? I meant 'made', obviously.

Are you drunk, autocorrect?

[TeeElfOnTeeShelf]

You not only 'amadeus' it Smeg, you're a contender!

[BartletForTeamGB]

Wow, neck and neck for the top 3 right now!

Smegs got my vote, but it was a very close run thing. There are some great names there!

[KatherinaMinola]

I love the Binfullofgiblets nc, but what does the original mean - Binfullofmaggotsonthe45?? Is it a line from a song? I don't get it.

[JenFrankincenseAndMyrrh]

Brimful of Asha on the 45 is a song, I assume it is to do with that.

Voted for my lovely Smegs

[KatherinaMinola]

Ahh, OK! But still - maggots??

[TheSecretSantaDNCOP]

I always assumed it was a mondegreen, a misheard lyric.

[KatherinaMinola]

That makes sense, thank you. I thought it might be MN folklore - a reference to a thread about fishing tackle abandoned on the bus... Relieved now.

[pixiestix]

Very disappointed that SantasStrapon didn't make it

[PeppermintonCandyCane]

I'm last

Any pity votes going spare?

[chinglebellsbatmansmells]

Haha! Pepperminton, I think I got the spare pity votes already.

[PeppermintonCandyCane]

Shall we open some and drink till we don't care?

[chinglebellsbatmansmells]

Hear hear!

[EggNogKnockers]

This is my first seasonal nc.

Thought it was quite witty.

Clearly I was wrong.

Seen some really good ones.

[YouOldTinsellySlag]

Bugger. I'm late.

[MammaTJ]

I think there should be different catagories. One for good but recognisable and one for really fucking clever!! I would have voted for different people for each one.

[ChippingInAWinterWonderland]

MammaTJ - I think you are right!

Next year Olivia ??

[GoodKingWenSOLOslas]

5? 5?!!! and one of those was mine! come on! this was my best ever and only shortlisted name change ever!!!!!

[giraffesCantFlyLikeReindeer]

done

[Smeggnog]

Hang on. We can vote for ourselves? I missed a trick there.

[numptyface]

[NomNomDePlumPudding]

[YouOldTinsellySlag]

I want IN.
