HO HO HO! It’s the most wonderful time of the year - the Mumsnet Christmas Name Change Competition.

It’s time to get your box of festive puns down from the attic and spend the next three weeks untangling them even though when you put them away last January they were ABSOLUTELY NOT TANGLED.

Ahem. Anyway - we’re after a Christmas-themed name change that is a play on your usual name. To enter, simply post on this thread under your new name.

The competition will run until December 23rd and we’ll announce the winner on Christmas Eve.

Cheers & good luck to all.

No, I agree Yo.
I stand corrected, I was only having a dig at akittencalledjesus because I felt she was straddling two camps and I felt threatened.

(Cats and kittens are indeed adorable.
Little baby piglets too.
Have you ever seen a baby donkey?!
I mean, ffs!)

Bollocks anyway.
Cant remember my password.

But if I could, I'd be 12Days

I agree, i felt that the Jesus Kitten 🐱 needed very closely watched, she really was fighting dirty.

Hey, I complimented your masterful lyricism @LadzXmasYouShatonmyThigh

I'm the sweet and innocent son of dog

(And also a half decent lyricist)

Agree Jesus Kitten needs watching. Just sucking up to MNHQ in the hopes the vote can be swayed in favour of our Lad.

When is it all happening MNHQ?

I must say i do like the cut of that Kitten Jesus' jib. Shall we keep her and make her a prisoner at our castle? A guest or a prisoner? We'll decide after Lad wins.

We have a winner!

Congratulations to @RudolphTheRedNosedTwatCat - we'll be in touch shortly.

I made the shortlist! I made the shortlist! Woohoo! Snogages for MNHQ 💋

There'd be more where that came from if I actually won a feckin' mug. Your loss

Congratulations RudolphTheRedNosedTwatCat!

@SproutinducingFarti

WE made the shortlist! Not bad for salad, eh?

Fuck, I need . It's a very real possibility that I would have died if I won the coveted . Good job I didn't. 🎉⚰️

I was robbed

What?! I didn't win? I know I didn't enter, but still.

I can’t believe it Lad. You’ll have to have your little finger amputated now. Not much Christmas Cheer in that.

Congratulations twatcat !

MNHQ;
MEANING OF PUN .
noun
a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike but have different meanings.

Merry Christmas!

But, but you haven't even got a mug AT ALL, Lad, i bet that twatcat has hundreds of unused mugs. So much for the season of goodwill, that's all i say.
But congrats to twatcat, it's not her fault that MN got it SO wrong.

Yes, Lad, you WAS robbed Didn't even make the shortlist. I thought Thrustine loved us?

I have returned to my original name already in disgust .

Working on next years...Rudolphtherednosedannekipanki .

@YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet

SMASH the mugs.

I'd like to see the notes from the decision making committee, could you publish the notes, they should be a public document.

Congratulations 🎉 twatcat, who do you know?

Weeps with disappointment for self and Lad. Only consolation is a cat is part of the name.

Well done RudolphTheRedNosedTwatCat through gritted teeth of jealousy whilst drinking gin from a chipped mug.

Sorry also well done to the others on the short list.

Lad it was RIGGED this year! RIGGED against you!

Poor Lad can never, ever experience a nice mug of tea!
