WA Dec 2017 7:45pm, 11 Dec 2017 4,784 posts	0 WA I've been around here forever and have always enjoyed the Christmas names but never really understood how to set one and protect my Fetchname And talking of Fetchnames - how do you choose yours? I know you are the right people to ask.

Then you change your main name to MerryWA etc. Then change WA2 to WA for the duration. When the festivities are over, just change that back and change MerryWA back to WA.

WA Dec 2017 10:24pm, 11 Dec 2017 4,785 posts	0 WA I doubt anyone would want to nick my name, and I doubt anyone would stumble upon it accidentally. And it doesn't lend itself to a jaunty Christmas variation.

sallykate Dec 2017 10:24pm, 11 Dec 2017 5,242 posts	0 sallykate I do seem to remember someone having their name "nicked" once. It was a fairly ordinary name which I suppose a new person just happened to share and used to register while the original owner had adopted something else for a while - no malice intended.

Autumnleaves Dec 2017 10:28pm, 11 Dec 2017 11,531 posts	0 Autumnleaves Badger commented on another thread that he knows there is a Fetchie who would grab the name Badger if he adopted a Xmas name - they have even contacted Fetch about it!
Autumnleaves Dec 2017 10:29pm, 11 Dec 2017 11,532 posts	0 Autumnleaves To answer the other question, my mind was a blank when I signed up, and all the first names I thought of had been taken, gazing out of the window for inspiration all I could see were swirling autumn leaves - so I thought that would do
