<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!

wish there were more options, though - I love the ones there, but it seems a shame to discount so many brilliant namechanges :(

voted...

Have voted too

Kate, you might want to edit the thread title so folk know that voting is open. Some might not check the thread regularly.

Fair point well made Zombie, will edit it now!

It is bit of a shame, as you all are vair hilarious - the original shortlist was double what it currently is. But we've chosen 10 as the poll limit, as that seems to be big to allow a good cross section, but not so long that it's overwhelming.

Hi Decor Kate TheXmasTreeMumsnet
Is it possible to put the voting page link in the opening post? Otherwise it might be a bit difficult to locate

Gads I'm late. Whit a scudder!

ooh, it's close running, isn't it!

soooo exciting

there should be an [fcake] and an [fwine]

Everybody is voting wrong

And an [fbear]

Ooooh, a Christmas bear would be unbearably cute see what I did there?

We have little behatted bears that go on the Christmas tree, they are vair twee but DSs love them so I have an excuse to keep them

The [fcake] should be either christmas cake or a mince pie...

... or Christmas pudding

Pacific - that's what I just thought!
Much as I love the other two (in the top 3), I'm much more needy than they are.
I missed out last year to AF, and the year before I missed out because I had a brand new baby.

Go Team Nickel!

I can't believe I was in the lead earlier, now look at it :(

I'm chuffed to have made the cut, what with being fairly new and all.

I'm just happy that I was nominated and that some people have voted for me!
yay!

Oh wow...I have NEVER been nominated before so thankyou SO SO MUCH

Only just seen the shortlist! I've voted for Zing, as I keep seeing her name and it just, you know, flows

aaww, thank you Rooners
