My hubby and I were talking about the name thing too yesterday. I think I'm at a disadvantage when it comes to comps because I have a VERY common surname! Are they picked by hand though or is it done by computer?Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small

tootsie chuckledoodle here, are we related josie?! lol
Anyway regarding the OP's Q, if they did just pick a name I'm sure they would be more likely to go for a more unusual name, yours eyes would just go to it in a list of boring common ones, I'm sure it would give you more chance. But having said that I hope that they are just done fairly and randomly so whatever your name we all have equal chance :-) I'm sure you will win stuff eventually it is all down to chance (and how many you enter!) good luck!0 -
I just thought of an idea where a name can be attractive or eye catching when selecting a winner. Its by choosing a celebrity name.
lets say for example I use the name (Pamela Anderson - although i'm not a fan of hers). Ofcourse it wouuld be obvious that the person entering wouldn't be a celebritybut a coincidence that a person in the Anderson family has the name of Pamela.
hehe
now it will depend if the person choosing the winner likes Pamela Anderson or hates her :rotfl:0 -
Hi, my new name is now Sloopy Waffle-Lips :rotfl:
I don't have a common surname & I've been lucky enough to win loads - but then I see loads that I would love to win so therefore enter loads of comps!
I would never change my name for entering comps, although I know some Compers have slightly amended their dates of birth & claim typo if questioned about it (as they are worried about their personal details being 'out there'), but I use all my real info - would hate to lose out on a prize due to not telling the truth.Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out0 -
