History Main / PortManteauCoupleName

* ''Main/{{Les Miserables}}'' fans of the {{FoeYay Valjean/Javert}} pairing may refer to it as Valvert.

* The small but determined fandom for ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand]] has endless ships and endless names, some of which are half portmanteau, half IdiosyncraticShipNaming: Beer (Buzz/Mira), Burger (Buzz/Zurg), Wine (Warp/Mira), Marred (Mira/XR), Grape (Gravitina/Warp), Big Mac (Romac/Mira)... Due to LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, that's only a ''fraction'' of the list.

* ''{{MASH}}'' had [=PierceIntyre=] -- used canonically by Henry (though their clueless Colonel probably wasn't aware of the [[HoYay implications]]).

* Another everything-under-the-sun example: the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' fandom. [[OfficialCouple Canon examples]] include Sorato (Sora/Yamato), Kenyako (Ken/Miyako(Yolei)), and Jukato (Jeri/Takato). Non-canon examples would take up three pages of tiny text, and that's before you start on the Digimon themselves...

** [[ForegoneConclusion Clois]] ([[{{Superman}} Clark]]/[[{{LoisLane}} Lois]]), [[DoomedByCanon Clana]] (Clark/[[TheScrappy Lana]]), [[DoomedByCanon Chlark]] ([[TheSmartGirl Chloe]]/Clark), [[{{BattleCouple}} Chlollie]] (Chloe/[[{{GreenArrow}} Oliver]]), [[UnholyMatrimony Lexana]] (Lex/Lana), Chlex ([[FoeYay Chloe/Lex]]).

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' fandom does this as well -- any two characters' names can be and probably have been snapped together to name a pairing, whether that pairing is written by anyone or not. Lots of people write [[spoiler: Kranna (Kratos/Anna)]], Kraine (Kratos/Raine), Colloyd ([[OfficialCouple Colette/Lloyd]]) Sheelos (Sheena/Zelos), and Zelloyd ([[GayOption Zelos/Lloyd]]) but terms like Sheenis (Sheena/Genis) and Kralette (Kratos/Colette) are also not unheard of, despite these pairings being exceedingly improbable.

*** If you want to throw in ''CrossoverShip'', Lightis ([[FinalFantasyVersusXIII Noctis]]/Lightning) have quite a large following as well

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII-2'' gives us [[LesYay Fanille]] (Fang/Vanille), [[LesYay FLight]] (Fang/Lightning), [[HoYay Noehopu]] (Noel/Hope), [[FanPreferredCouple HopuRai]] (Hope/Lightning), Noerah (Noel/Serah) and Snope (Snow/Hope).

* ''PowerRangers'' has several of these, ranging from ''{{Mighty Morphin|Power Rangers}}'' 's Tommy/Kim into "Tim," ''[[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder]]'' 's Kira/Tommy into "[[TeacherStudentRomance Kirommy]]," to ''[[Series/PowerRangersSPD SPD]]'' 's Sky/Bridge into "[[HoYay Skidge]]." When characters Mack, Will, Ronny, and Rose appeared in ''[[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Operation Overdrive]]'', various combinations resulting in "Rock" and "Roll" were inevitable.
* ''{{Firefly}}'' has several of these as well: "Silee" or "Saylee" (the Simon/Kaylee OfficialCouple), as well as "Jaylee" (Jayne/Kaylee), "Rayne" (the odd and verging on FoeYay Jayne/River ship), "Zayne" (Zoe/Jayne), "Jaynara" (Jayne/Inara), and "Kaynara" (Kaylee/Inara). "Maliver" for Mal/River fans. Also, guess what ship is referred to as "[[BrotherSisterIncest Crazy Space Incest]]" or "Tamcest".

*** Not to mention Charity (Cherilee/Rarity)

** [[{{Superman}} Clois]] ([[{{Superman}} Clark]]/[[{{LoisLane}} Lois]]),[[DoomedByCanon Clana]] (Clark/[[TheScrappy Lana]]), [[{{DoomedByCanon}} Chlark]] ([[{{MissionControl}} Chloe]]/Clark), [[{{BattleCouple}} Chlollie]] (Chloe/[[{{GreenArrow}} Oliver]]), [[UnholyMatrimony Lexana]] (Lex/Lana), Chlex ([[FoeYay Chloe/Lex]]).

** And very amusing, as Sandor is about as far from cute as one can get, possibly with the exception of Tyrion.

* ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' has [=TamaHaru=] (Tamaki/Haruhi), [=HikaHaru=] (Hikaru/Haruhi) and [=TamaKyo=] (Tamaki/Kyoya) just to name a few.

* ''Inuyasha'' has one for every pairing you could care to name: [=InuKag=], [=InuKik=], [=MirSan=], [=SessKag=], [=SessRin=], etc.

** [=SasuNaru=], [=GaaNaru=], [=NaruSaku=], and [=SaiNaru=], anyone? Also, the order in which you put the names is SeriousBusiness. Sasuke/Naruto with Sasuke as the {{Seme}} is [=SasuNaru=], while the same pairing with Naruto as {{Seme}} is [=NaruSasu=].
** [=ShikaTema=] ([=Shikamaru/Temari=]), [=ShikaHina=] ([[CrackPairing Shikamaru/Hinata]]), [=NejiTen=] ([=Neji/Tenten=]), and [=SasuKarin=] (Sasuke[=/=]Karin). [=TemaShika=] is also commonly used for Shikamaru/Temari since Temari can be seen as the dominate partner.
** Any Portmanteau Couple Name involving Kakashi-sensei just sounds hilarious (like [=KakaAnko=] or [=KakaSaku=]).
*** How about [=SasuSaso=] or [[CrackPairing SasoSasu?]] Say it quickly. [[ForTheLulz It's fun!]]
** How about [=SuiKa=] (Suigetsu/Karin)? Suika is the Japanese word for watermelon, so expect to see a lot of them in pairing FanArt.
** Also, just thought it deserved a mention: {{Portmanteau Couple Name}}s for couples between the members of Team 10 (Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji) also tend to work for ''[[{{Squick}} their parents]]''.

** Tony/Steve is also known as Super Husbands Tony/Bruce as "Science Bros/Boyfriends/Husbands, Tony/Steve/Pepper as "Pepperstony", Bruce/Pepper as "Dr. Pepper" adding Tony to become "Dr. Pepperony", Natasha/Pepper as "Black Pepper", and the rather badass "Thundershield" (Thor/Steve) and "Ironhawk" (Tony/Clint)
