<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!

Do we have a winner?

When is this fecking thing done?

bof you know me, overreactor extraordinaire

I didn't even vote for myself.

am happy for either of the top two to win now I don't stand a chance

my favourite one ever was ChristmasTrolleyRage

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

TEE - do I dare point out that there has been a name change comp since Hallowe'en....

Bless all who voted for Justresting - I had hoped the Cockney vote would be larger That Mo put you all off didn't she?!
It was nice to be nommed though - has only happened once before*, lost then too but it's the taking part innit?
My own husband would have voted for DrivingHolmesForXmas the treacherous snake - but that name change made him go Yay and do his Chris Rhea impression.

Congrats chaos and rooners - and commiserations to my two other favourites which weren't nominated... mcpheelingupSanta (inspired) and Mmecinqanneauxd'or (clever)

Merry Christmas Everyone and thanks for getting me through another year
Will be twirling yet another name change at Easter...

Where is your partisanship, Nickel? Not good enough. Tut. You need to be drawing swords on one side or t'other. preferably mine

Mickey I think that the egg name is probably the best I have ever heard.

How could you not have won with THAT beauty?

Morning everyone! Well after a nail biting race, the results are in. In first place is IHeardMummyDissingParcelForce, and in second is ClausIsRealTruly

Well done everyone who took part - as ever, a very high standard of namechange.

Huge apols for the confusion yesterday. I can only blame gin and the thought of Idris Elba in the office, a potentially lethal combination.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Erm.... It's ClausIsTrulyReal [wunk]

Still hungover, clearly :)

Congratulations to the winners :)

Oh thankyou Kate, and thanks everyone...that's really very lovely.

@PseudoSanta

Erm.... It's ClausIsTrulyReal [wunk]

Doh - thanks SuedoPanta. I mean JudoFanta. I mean NouveauCanter.

I feel uncertain that there will be any, erm, prizes, ahem, left at this rate. They are clearly all completely blotto

Don't worry - they're sending them by Parcelforce.

Oh, hang on...

LOL

Soupy!

Congrats to the winners!

Whatever their names are...

Hang on, hand on, Edris Elba is one of the prizes?? And Kate has snaffled him for herself?

FIX!!

Humph

Congrats to the winners. I suppose...

ooh, well done rooners!
[mwah]

Well done Rooners. Tis me Mickey.
eggrytodiseggry was the year of...drum roll
....OhChristIsRisenFenton

One cannot argue with genius. Loved it then, love it still...

Ooh I didn't even realise I'd made the shortlist! Congrats to the winners, very clever!

Your name was superb

I don't know what they are sending me yet but I am getting prize guilt.

If it's a multi pack of M&S knickers we can all share.

If it involves chocolate though I may renege on my earlier offer...

I wanted to be Ohfuckeryiforgottoputthesproutson But it's too long. So oh what fuckery is this becomes....
