** And for those who are into FoeYay: [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bat]][[ComicBook/{{TheJoker}} Jokes]].

** There's also [[FoeYay Tai Lung/Tigress]], which is... [[PunnyName Taigress]].

* ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'' gives us the twisted FoeYay that is "Blonco" for Blondie/Tuco.

* "Pavigi" has [[SlashFic already]] [[FoeYay popped up]] for Pavi/Luigi in the ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' fandom, not to mention "Grilo" (Graverobber/Shilo) and [[ParentalIncest Shathan]] (Shilo/Nathan).

*** There's also "[=HHHBK=]" which is formed by smushing together HHH's initials with those of Shawn's RedBaron "The Heartbreak Kid". Those who ship [[FoeYay Shawn Michaels/Bret Hart]] gave them a couple of similar portmanteau couple names; some use "[=HHBK=]" (this time standing for Hitman/Heartbreak Kid), while others use "[=BHBK=]" (playing on the fact that "Hart" and "Heart" sound the same).

** "Junk" ([[FoeYay Jeff Hardy/CM Punk]])

** "Punkicho" ([[FoeYay CM Punk/Chris Jericho]])

* ''Theatre/{{Les Miserables}}:'' Fans of the FoeYay pairing Valjean/Javert refer to it as Valvert. Likewise, those who ship Enjolras and Grantaire call it Enjoltaire.

** The first three games also have the Godot ship names of [[FoeYay Godonaru]] (Godot/Phoenix), [[CrackPairing Godomitsu]] (Godot/Edgeworth), and [[ScrewYourself Diegodot]] (Diego is Godot's real first name in English).

** Forum members are fond of creating, and debating, portmanteau couple names. The most commonly-used ones are "Saraphne" for OfficialCouple Sara/Daphne, and "Agenny" for Aggie/Penny. Others include "Standi" (OfficialCouple Stan/Brandi), "Jacky-Ann" or "Katack" (OfficialCouple Jack/Katy-Ann), and "Stenny" (for the FoeYay ship Stan/Penny).

* Possibly the oldest example of this trope, dating back to OlderThanFeudalism: Hermaphroditus, son of Hermes and Aphrodite, from Myth/ClassicalMythology. He fell in love with a female naiad, Salmacis, and prayed to be merged with her forever. The gods granted his wish, and his name therefore became a byword for beings that are both male and female.

** Creator/BenAffleck later lampshaded this trope [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments in the intro to one of his times hosting]] ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''. Noting the amount of money people have made with Bennifer T-shirts, and irritated that he hasn't gotten any of it, he showed off his own custom T-shirts with possible future relationships: "Benyonce", "[[Series/TheOprahWinfreyShow Boprah]]", and "[[Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen Mary-Kate and AshFleck]]". And then, "[[{{Pun}} [=BenGay=]]]", pairing him with either Creator/MarciaGayHarden, [[HoYay or recurring co-star Matt Damon]].

Also: Harimmhoff, also known as Dougmala (UsefulNotes/KamalaHarris and Doug Emhoff) and Mikaren (Mike and Karen Pence).

* One MORE word: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xuf6vBF0ano MonFerra]], aka [[https://youtu.be/IHD2xNJSMXE FritzGerry]]. It means Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro who lost a landslide to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47Uow-87Mz8 Geornald]] (UsefulNotes/{{Ronald|Reagan}} as a President and UsefulNotes/{{George|HWBush}} as a Vice President in 1984).
* One more, more, MORE word: Milaine, it stands for Mitch Mcconnell and Elaine Chao. It's also known as Mcchao (Obviously?).

* Used for members of Music/{{NSYNC}}, when {{slash|Fic}}ed with each other: Timberlake/Fatone = Timbertone. There's also [=JoeC=], Choey, etc...

* In an unintentionally [[{{Squick}} squicky]] example, two contestants on the British talent show ''The X Factor'', two twins that sing together named John and Edward, have had their names smushed together to give a name for the group -- Jedward. It's not meant to be a shipping term, but it certainly implies [[{{Twincest}} as much]].
* For those in the Nick Cave/Blixa Bargeld "Nixa ::heart::" is the common way to express your shipping position. Coilhouse refers to Nixa as the new Kirk/Spock.
* OlderThanTelevision: George Bernard Shaw referred to Creator/GKChesterton and Creator/HilaireBelloc as "Chesterbelloc". Almost certainly a [[HeterosexualLifePartners non-shipping example]] though. Well, ''[[http://www.public-domain-poetry.com/poetry.php?pdid=9123 almost]]'' certainly.

* {{Discussed}} in Creator/AllisonPregler's [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/ol/specials/44302-lupa-qaa Q&A video]], when one fan asks if she, as a ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' fan, ships "Bangel" or "Spuffy." She shoots down both options and wonders if anyone ships Buffy with [[RomanticFalseLead Scott]], suggesting that the pairing could be called "[[UnfortunateName Butt]]."

** Another cutesy current one is [[Franchise/SpiderMan Speidi]] for Spencer [[UnfortunateNames Pratt]] and Heidi Montag.

* [[UsefulNotes/NickClegg Cl]][[UsefulNotes/DavidCameron ameron]], the nickname for the absolutely HoYay-tastic coalition formed between the [[UsefulNotes/BritishPoliticalSystem Conservatives and Liberal Democrats]] after the 2010 elections. For a show of how meta this trope has become, even the media refers to the two by this name. Hardly surprising, as they themselves were guilty of writing the first RealPersonFic of the two, in addition to the [[YaoiFangirl usual suspects]].
** Also Cleggeron, which sounds vaguely robotic -- and does [[UnfortunateNames ConDems]] count?
