<jingles bells> It's the Christmas Name Change Competition - VOTING OPEN!

[DecorKateTheXmasTreeMumsnet]

Ho ho ho!

Yes, it's that most magical time of year, when MN becomes all festive and even more giddy. Put a Christmas spin on your nickname (demonstrated by moi), post on this thread with it, along with your old NN so we can see how clever you've been

Then we'll create a shortlist (judges decision is final ) and a poll, and you can vote for your favourite. And since it's Christmas, there'll be a prize for 1st place and runner up

Enjoy!

UPDATE: The poll is now open - you've got until tomorrow to vote for your favourite!

Rooners

I hope you win, then it will be an even bigger honour that you voted for me!


[although I had voted for Chaos, I liked the creativity of that NC]

[BitOfFunWithSanta]

Nickel, this really isn't bringing out your best side, is it?

[GodRestTEEMerryGenTEEmen]

Do I dare point out that the last time there was a name change comp, for Hallowe'en, there was also ishoos.

[IHeardMummyDissingParcelforce]

yy keep it up

I feel like Kate Winslet off of Titanic, clinging to the helm for dear life.

[MmeCinqAnneauxDor]

Tee
I reckon we should start angry AIBUs at not being on the short list, despite having clearly superior namechanges

[DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn]

didn't even notice that Soupy has overtaken me!

There, there

[GodRestTEEMerryGenTEEmen]

Yes, Mme! Let's!

[zellamsee]

I'm voting Chaos because it's a proper variation on her usual name. Yours is very clever though, Rooney, it's a good pun.

[JugglingUnwiselyWithBaubles]

I voted earlier today and then spent the rest of the afternoon trying to re-find the thread It seemed really un-searchable for some reason.

Anyhow, I voted for OnDasherrorOnDancerror though secretly I think mine's better

[ZingChoirsOfAngels]

Baubles

I think mine is best but whatever. I'm not bitter.

[ZingChoirsOfAngels]

oh I meant

no I didn't

[PacificDingbat]

Ooooh, neck on neck now !!

Now, now, ladies, don't fight fight, fight, fight, FIGHT

[JugglingUnwiselyWithBaubles]

Ooh, yours is rather good Zing - wish I'd voted for yours now

[ZingChoirsOfAngels]

Pacific

--are we in the front row to watch teeth and hair and spit and blood fly everwhere?

Fight Fight Fight Fight FIGHT to the death!--

[ZingChoirsOfAngels]

oops, massive strike through failure

Thanks baubles!

[JugglingUnwiselyWithBaubles]

Oh and couldn't MNHQ put this in DOTD for the rest of the evening or until the poll closes and result is announced?
It's very hidden ATM unless it comes up in Active Convos

[AugustaProdworthy]

I have absolutely no idea/imagination- could done kind soul suggest a festive version of mine ? ( I'm not cheating I just can't think of anything!)
Help please!

[ZingChoirsOfAngels]

Augusta it's too late for this year, but I'll PM you some ideas.

[AugustaProdworthy]

Thank you, I'm just not convinced my nn can be changed, I regret choosing it now!

[JugglingUnwiselyWithBaubles]

Perhaps you could do something with the Augusta bit, seeing as August is a summer month?

[ZingChoirsOfAngels]

any name can be twisted round.

Augusta

I sent you 4 ideas.

[PacificDingbat]

Augusta, listen to The Zing

We'll just have to keep bumping this thread until voting is closed.

No fight?

[ZingChoirsOfAngels]

Pacific

"The Zing"

[PacificDingbat]

You're welcome all those fivers you gave me are paying off

'The Zing' - like 'The Fonz'

[ZingChoirsOfAngels]

That's it! The Fonz! I knew it rang a bell!
