On thread the posts are forming and MNers are calling “yoo hoo”

It’s that most magical time of year where we bring out our festive user names from storage and glitz up the boards! Xmas Grin

We’re after seasonal name changes that are a play on your usual name– to enter, post here under your new name, and tell us what your normal name is. You have till next Monday (the 15th) to post, then we’ll create poll of the ten best names, and you can vote for your favourite.

The Mumsnetter with the most popular name will receive this rather charming copy Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, an adaption of the Richard Scarry classic by Paul Smith Xmas Smile

My Christmas name change is rubbish.... but yours doesn't have to be! Get creative and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

My first ever Christmas namechange!

Usually Inselaffe.

Not very imaginative but I am proud of myself considering I can't usually muster anything.

Oh, such good ones - so hard to choose! (Can't believe PigletinaBlanketJohn didn't make it though...)

JosephWasAChippyMinton · 15/12/2014 16:46

Everyone's on fine form this festive season - FelixFelixNavidad gets my vote

JosephWasAChippyMinton · 15/12/2014 16:47

Why isn't my vote showing?

RoundYonPreMadonna · 15/12/2014 17:49

Can't believe i've missed the buggering shortlisting. This one was a winner too. Xmas Sad

WeeFreeKings · 15/12/2014 20:45

No way! I'm on the list! Grin. I thought it was a good 'un when DH actually LOL'd and said his usual compliment 'that's funny, for you'. He thinks he is the sole wit of the family so I will play this card for the next 12 months at least!

Of course it's not the winning that counts but getting short listed has made my Christmas! Xmas Grin

AliceLidlDonkey · 15/12/2014 20:54

Ooh! I'm in the poll Shock

First time ever.

It's an honour just to be nominated. Shock Smile

GodReastieMerryGentlemen · 15/12/2014 21:36

Wow, I'm on the list how exciting .

I came up with the nn in the bath, must give me some magic mental powers as this sort of thing I'm usually terrible at what an excuse to have lots of long relaxing baths Xmas Wink

AlpacaStockingOnChristmasEve · 15/12/2014 22:04

Well sod you all...

Wink
GettingFiggyWithIt · 16/12/2014 02:30

I like your name alpaca stocking Xmas Wink #alpacawuzrobbed
Go for AlpacaCremeEggInMyGobOrFive at Easter and I shall vote for you.
(I don't think GettingEggyWithIt is going to make the shortlist but hell I am more organised on here than in real life!) But yay! many thanks for the nomination and any votes...this is my third nomination(!) so I am used to losing# and am already wearing my fixed Oscar grin in a Brendan-from-Strictly stylee (except his rictus grin this year was every time they were saved, pissed myself). Deep breath, camera looms, false smile, humble speechtis the taking part that ah feck it who am I trying to kid
As it is am not sure eligible cos I am overseas but do name changes for shits and giggles.
Adore your name Tinselaffe Xmas Grinas I am an inselaffe too....
For anyone thinking WTF...literally translating, the Germans call us Brits 'island apes' due to our insular nature (which means i fit in quite well in fairly insular Franconia but I always think of Planet of the apes whenever I hear it).
Maybe mnhq can send me an honorary award in a decade....in the meantime Happy Christmas one and all and do think of me if The Great Escape comes on the telly this year.

#was 'just resting my mince pies' last year and 'eggry to diseggry' in a previous Easter comp. Classics I tell ya! #figgywuzrobbed Wink

AliceLidlDonkey · 16/12/2014 11:59

JingleBellSniffer · 18/12/2014 09:30

GoodZingWenceslass · 18/12/2014 11:35

I'm on the list! yay! I had a horrible night of hardly any sleep and consequently feel awful - but this put a big grin on my face! thank you! Smile
