Gather round you coven of witches,
For the chance to win some Mumsnet riches,*
As it's that time of year once more,
When (plastic) ravens croak and monsters roar,
And the un-dead climb out from their tomb,
When the night takes on an eerie gloom,
Mumsnetters have but one ambition - to win the Halloween name change competition....

Welcome, you spooky lot, to the 2019 Halloween Name Change Competition.

Enter by posting on this thread under your terrifying new name, which should be a clever play on your usual username.

You have until Monday 28th October to post on this thread with your name change, and we'll then create a shortlist of the ten best ones.

You can then vote for your favourite, which we'll announce on Thursday 31st October. The winner will receive a bundle of goodies from the MNHQ cupboard of treats.

Halloween Grin

UPDATE The poll is now live so cast your vote nowooooooo!

Will you be up for it Succubus ? John ? Growler ?

EyeSpiesArousedSuccubus · 30/10/2019 13:19

A lost cause my arse, I shall whip up another curse and see if it has any impact. 🤮

I'll be there!

bleedinggrowler · 30/10/2019 13:24

I enjoy the antics, but I'm not down with the politics.

So, sorry, but I'm out. I will use a seasonal name possibly but not enter another one of these.

FranneKipankinstein · 30/10/2019 13:32

Understandable growler .
Nice gnawing you 🎃

EyeSpiesArousedSuccubus · 30/10/2019 13:39

I have dropped my curse to try and overthrow the usual politics, by using further politics Halloween Shock, not for my own benefit mind you.

We shall see..... 👀

I am announcing my winner...

If I can... FranneKipankinstein (c&p it, much easier Halloween Grin )

Aaaaahhhhhhwooooooooo

bleedinggrowler · 30/10/2019 14:01

My reasons for nomiation for winner are clever use of an already funny corrupted expression.

I kept saying it to myself and its funny and just, well, a smart halloween twist of your name.

Sorry BiWitch, I have seriously missed the artfullness here, its gone straight over my head.

I have had fun on the thread . I come on Mumsnet for fun and it was just nice to be in the shortlist. It was unexpected.
Last year's Halloween name change was similar. Some just did a one off name change post but a few were up for a bit of banter. My favourite from last year was Dismember who had name changed from Member . It was so simple and made me laugh .

BB started a Christmas one last year and that was fun too . There were no prizes.
Again some posted a name and that was it . Others took part in more fun .

@FranneKipankinstein

I don't think I have the soul to cry. But if I did, I sure would.

FranneKipankinstein · 30/10/2019 14:34

FranneKipankinstein · 30/10/2019 14:36
