Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow, straighten your bow tie and offer round those jelly babies... it's the first ever Dr Who name change competition.

Once you've done your brilliant Whovian namechange, post on this thread saying what your old name used to be.

On Saturday we'll create a poll of the best ones, and you lovely folk can vote for your favourite. We'll close it at some point . The winner will receive some sort of tat prize, not necessarily Who themed, but lovingly selected and possibly kissed by MNHQ.

and there will be no cock ups where Kate forgets how many winners there are supposed to be like last time

I'm not sure if mine counts? It's not a name change, just my usual. Because even Daleks like cozy knitwear.

BestisWest here - some real crackers above but chuckling to myself at

I have just thought - sally sparrow, jack sparrow.

How are those two related?

Woldyhool · 23/11/2013 07:43

but it isn;'t jack sparrow is it Blush

Oh gawd

TheDayOfMyDoctor · 23/11/2013 08:19

Not clever or funny, but thought I'd get into the spirit of things just for today with a variation on usual name of DTisMYdoctor.

alexpolistardis · 23/11/2013 11:24

Some of these are really great!

Although I don't get a few of the references, so I'm assuming they're from things I haven't seen yet, later episodes. It's giving me something to look forward to!

Oooh, I've never been nominated for a Name Change vote before! Thanks MN.

Good luck everyone.

Rooners · 23/11/2013 14:55

I just had a really good idea which was Youwillbedeleted. But then I found someone else had used it in 2008 Sad

all credit to them, then!

RussTDaviesBear · 23/11/2013 15:07

Thanks for the nomination even though you spelt it wrong

But where is OhYouBadBadKaleds?

TEEARDIS · 23/11/2013 15:21

Bump for those who may not see the actual poll!

Maybe change the title of the thread, HQ?

ExitPursOodByWho · 23/11/2013 15:51

I'm not on it!

TickleMyTardisTillFriday · 23/11/2013 15:52

Ah bum, I thought my namechange was inspired! Think I'll keep it anyway Wink

CyberMenStrual is bloody fantastic

MaryZygon · 23/11/2013 15:58

They really don't like Kitten do they Rusty Shock

TEE isn't on it either.

Or Exit.

I like the names that are related to people's original names, they are much more inventive.

MaryZygon · 23/11/2013 15:59

Oh, and you shouldn't be able to see the results until you have voted - much fairer. Otherwise the early leaders have an advantage as no-one wants to waste a vote.

But I keep saying that [sigh]

TEEARDIS · 23/11/2013 16:05

I'm assuming my absolutely brilliant name wasn't short listed because I tied for second in the last comp after a brilliant and not at all over the top fight to the finish.

They are afraid of me, HQ are. My job here is done.

TickleMyTardisTillFriday · 23/11/2013 16:06

I used to be MelodyPondering. Maybe I should have changed back to that...

I thought Exits was really good too.

I'm getting far too involved.

TheDoctrineOfWho · 23/11/2013 16:21

I don't think SomethingKindaOod even entered Sad unless it was a conspiracy against Ood names...?

MaryZygon · 23/11/2013 16:28

So are we all going to sulk childishly complain?

I have nothing against those who are on the list, and I've voted for RussT which I think is a great name.

But I do think there should be some degree of relationship between actual name and theme name, otherwise the competition doesn't make sense Confused.
