* ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars]]'': Flak/Lash as "Flash".
* ''Franchise/BreathOfFire'' in general has [=RyuNina=] (Ryu/Nina, natch), whilst ''IV'' also has [=FouMami=] (for the het pairing Fou/Mami) and [=FouRyu=] (for the [[ScrewYourself selfcest slash]] pairing Fou/Ryu).
** ''II'' has [=RyuKatt=] (in a rare example of this trope where there is no Japanese equivalent--the Japanese name for Katt is Rinpoo in accordance with [[DubNameChange The Unwritten Rule Of Capcom Localisation Renamings]]).
** ''II'' also has a rare example of this trope ''not'' related to romantic pairings; there is an entire ''constellation'' of portmanteau names for [[FusionDance fusion forms]] you can take with other party members.
* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'': The forum community uses Numitron for Numina/Positron. There was also a concerted attempt by some members to use Statesline for a Steasman/Faultline CrackPairing.
* ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' fandom has "Maomaz" to describe the [[VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice Mao/Almaz]] pairing, and also "Maoberyl" for Mao/Raspberyl and "Flaharl" for [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Flonne/Laharl]].
* ''Franchise/DragonAge'' has many.
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'':
*** "Fenders" refers to the pairing of Fenris and Anders. "Fenhanders" refers to a [[ThreeWaySex three-way]] or LoveTriangle with both characters and [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]].
*** "Vanders" ([[TheCharmer Varric]][=/=][[FallenHero Anders]]) is occasionally seen as well, as are "Fenbela" and "Merribela" ([[TroubledButCute Fenris]] or [[TheCutie Merrill]][=/=][[PirateGirl Isabela]]).
*** "Handers" is also seen for Hawke/Anders. Hawke/Isabela is sometimes called "Hawkbela."
*** There's a faction which ships Hawke with the [[FoeYay Arishok]]; this pairing is sometimes called "Arihawke."
*** "Bethras" has been devised for Varric/Bethany, while "Merriver" is sometimes applied to Carver/Merrill.
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'':
*** "Adoribull" for Iron Bull and Dorian, [[PairTheSpares who hook up if neither is romanced by the Inquisitor]].
*** "Solavellan" for fans of '''So'''las and '''Lavellan''', given that Solas can only be romanced by a female elf Inquisitor, whose surname is Lavellan.
*** "Pavellan" is seen fairly often for for Dorian Pavus/male Lavellan.
*** Cullen can only be romanced by female humans (Trevelyan) or elves (Lavellan), so his canon ships are either "Cullevelyan" or "Cullavellan." Non-canonically, he's sometimes paired with Dorian, which is known as "Cullrian."
*** The non-canonical pairing of Varric/Cassandra is known as "Tethraghast."
* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' has [=JuVie=] for Julie Farkas/Veronica.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** The fandom has plenty of these, especially ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. First, there's the obvious LoveTriangle with Clerith/Cleris/Clorith (Cloud and Aeris/Aerith shippers) and Cloti/Clifa (Cloud/Tifa shippers) often being [[ShipToShipCombat violently at war]] with each other and shippers who go "Why choose?" opting for [=CloTiRis=] (Cloud/Tifa/Aeris) instead. Then there's Yuffietine/Yuffentine (the somewhat implausible Vincent/Yuffie), followed by the ''even less'' plausible [=AeriSeph=] (Sephiroth/Aeris). Add Zack into the mix, and you get Zerith (Zack/Aerith) and Clack (Cloud/Zack). That's not even going into all the HoYay pairings of the highly {{Bishonen}} heroes and villains...
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' has a rather unfortunate one: Tidus/Yuna = ''Tuna''. The game also has Aurikku (Auron/Rikku), Tikku (Tidus/Rikku), and [=YuRi=] (Yuna/Rikku), but the two funniest ones are Rippal (Rikku/Gippal) and Lukka (Lulu/Wakka), the latter which is a homophone of the largest city in the game's world.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' mainly avoids them, since the LauncherOfAThousandShips of the fandom is named 'Squall'. 'Squh' sounds don't portmanteau well. Squinoa isn't so bad, but Squistis? Squeifer? Or, most unpleasantly onomatopoeically, Squelphie? Squell is not unheard of, though. Nor Squaerith, for that matter. Not to mention Squikku is probably more common than you'd think likely.
*** From the same game we also have "Seiftis" (previously known as Quiefer) for the Seifer/Quistis pairing, "Quall" for Quistis and Squall, "Selvine" for Selphie and Irvine, and "Zellphie" for Zell and Selphie.
*** Squall may not have been in too many good portmanteaus before, but that's because he was saving up for possibly the best one ever. Ladies and gentlemen, ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' has gifted to us the pairing of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Squall]] and the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Warrior Of Light]], abbreviated as "[=SqWoL=]."
*** Also from ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', those who favor the UnholyMatrimony of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyII The Emperor]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia]] have started using Pala/Mecia--the "mecia" being the last bit of Ulty's name, the rest referring to the fact that the Emperor's AllThereInTheManual surname and name of the country he rules in his original canon is "Palamecia."
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'' gives us [[LesYay Fanille]] (Fang/Vanille), [[LesYay FLight]] (Fang/Lightning), [[HoYay Noehopu]] (Noel/Hope), [[FanPreferredCouple HopuRai]] (Hope/Lightning), Noerah (Noel/Serah), [[FoeYayShipping Cairai]] (Caius/Lightning), and Snope (Snow/Hope).
*** If you want to throw in ''CrossoverShip'', Lightis ([[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV Noctis]]/Lightning) have quite a large following as well
** Fans of [[LadyOfWar Agrias]] / [[TheHero Ramza]] in VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics tend to call their pairing Agriamza.
** Each combination of the four [[FanNickname Chocobros]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' has its own ship name: Promptis (Prompto/Noctis), Gladnis (Gladio/Ignis), Ignoct (Ignis/Noctis), Promptio (Prompto/Gladio), Gladnoct (Gladio/Noctis), and Promnis (Prompto/Ignis). There's also Noctluna/Lunoct for the OfficialCouple of Noctis/Lunafreya, and Ardynoct for [[FoeYay Ardyn/Noctis]].
** [[StrongGirlSmartGuy Ignis/Aranea]] gets a little creative with their ship name Highspecs. The first part being the beginning of Aranea's last name, Highwind, while the later is Aranea's nickname for the royal advisor.
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' is starting to sprout some, for the more popular couples:
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'': The Male [[CanonName Robin]]/Lucina ship is "Robcina", the Female Robin/Chrom ship is "Chrobin", and Chrom/Sumia is "Chromia". "Lucinigo" also gets thrown around occasionally for Inigo/Lucina.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'': For the player character, [[CanonName Corrin]]/Azura is "Azurrin", and Female Corrin/Xander is "Coriander". For the royals, the [[FoeYay pairings]] of [[HoYay Ryoma/Xander and Leo/Takumi]] are dubbed "Ryomarx" (after Xander's Japanese name, Marx) and Leokumi. The royal sisters also have the ship names "Caminoka" (Camilla/Hinoka) and "Elisaku" (Elise/Sakura), but those aren't used as often. There is also "Leorrin" for Leo/Corrin.
* ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'', despite the characters being [[spoiler:haunted]] [[RoboShip robots]], has Foxica (Foxy/Chica), Freddica (Freddy/Chica), Bonnica (Bonnie/Chica), Fronnie (Freddy/Bonnie), Fangle or Moxy (Foxy/Mangle), and Springle or Sprangle (Springtrap/Mangle).
* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' has Trikey for Trevor/Michael.
* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' runs rampant with pairings, although the most commonly seen portmanteaus are "Grary" (for Gray/Mary, one of the rival pairings in the ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonBackToNature Mineral Town]]'' games) and "Graire" (for Gray/Claire, the CanonName given to the blonde female farmer from the ''Mineral Town'' games).
* ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' has Blayden for Norman Jayden and Carter Blake.
* ''Franchise/TheIdolmaster'':
** 765 Pro All Stars/Million Live:
*** [=HaruChiha=] (Haruka/Chihaya), whose respective seiyuus Eriko Nakamura and Asami Imai also get one of their own in the form of Eringosu (Eriko/Mingosu, the latter a popular nickname for Asami) or A.I.E.N.
*** [=HibiTaka=] (Hibiki/Takane). Likewise, their seiyuus (Manami Numakura and Yumi Hara) are sometimes shipped together as Haranu (from their surnames).
*** Others are [=YayoIori=] (Yayoi/Iori) and [=YukiMako=] (Yukiho/Makoto)
** Cinderella Girls:
*** [=UzuRin=] (Uzuki/Rin), [=TakeRin=] (Takeuchi Producer [from the anime series]/Rin), [=AnKira=] (Anzu/Kirari), [=ShikiFure=] (Shiki/Frederica), [=AriFumi=] (Arisu/Fumika)
** Million Live:
*** [=MiraShizu=] (Mirai/Shizuka), [=ShizuShiho=] (Shizuka/Shiho), [=KotoMegu=] (Kotoha/Megumi), [=EmiTsumu=] (Emily/Tsumugi), [=KonoRio=] (Konomi/Rio)
** Shiny Colors:
*** [=ManoHio=] (Mano/Hiori), [=SakuMami=] (Sakuya/Mamimi), [=JuriNatsu=] (Juri/Natsuha), [=AsaFuyu=] (Asahi/Fuyuko), [=ToMado=] (Toru/Madoka)
* ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'' fans have created the Website/{{Pixiv}} tag "Fubukiyamaru" for Fubuki Shirou + Kiyama Hiroto + Kazemaru Ichirouta. Although it's frequently used in a non-shipping context for pictures which simply feature all three of those characters, since Pixiv has a limit of 10 tags per picture. There's also "Endaki" for Endou/Aki.
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
** ''Kingdom Hearts'''s names are usually either a portmanteau of their English names or the Romaji of their Japanese names. English examples include any combination of So(ra), Ri(ku) and Kai(ri) (including [[OneTrueThreesome all three at once]]), as well as Larxel (Larxene/Axel), Mansaix (the latter being Xemnas' anagram Mansex mixed with Saix), [=Roxora=] ([[ScrewYourself Sora/Roxas]]), [=RoxEtte=] (Roxas/Olette), [=Roxayner=] (Roxas/Hayner), [=RoXion=] (Roxas/Xion), [=Namiku=] (Riku/Namine), [=KairiNe=] (Kairi/Namine), [=MarLar=] (Marluxia/Larxene. Alternatively, [[spoiler:Laurena, for their Somebodies Lauriam and Elrena]]), Aelenzo (Aeleus/Ienzo) and Zemyx (Zexion/Demyx). Romanji examples include [[OfficialCouple [=SoKai=]]], [[HoYay So]][[RivalTurnedEvil Riku]], [[OneTrueThreesome SoRiKai]], [=RokuNami/NamiRoku=] (Roxas/Namine), [=VekuRekuZeku=] (Vexen/Lexaeus/Zexion), [[HoYay AkuRoku]] (Axel/Roxas), [=AkuShi=] (Axel/Xion), [=RokuShi=] (Roxas/Xion, again) and [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs [=AkuRokuShi=]]] for the Romaji. And those are the ''common'' ones.
** ''358/2 Days'' gave us [=Saixel/AkuSai=] (Saix/Axel). Or the amusing Lisa (Lea/Isa), taking from their true names.
** Also [=TerrAqua=] (Terra/Aqua) and [=VanVen=] (Vanitas/Ventus) from ''Birth by Sleep'', among others ([=VenAqua=], [=VanAqua=], [=TerrVen=], etc.). You also have the more obscure Xehaqus/Eranort (Xehanort/Eraqus).
** With the MassiveMultiplayerCrossover nature of the game, some [[CrossoverShip Crossover Ships]] are inevitable, most popularly [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cl]][[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII eon]] (Cloud/Leon) and the CrackPairing Seiner (Seifer/Hayner). Alternatively, [[{{Pun}} Heifer]].
** The fun really begins when you start including the actual Disney mascots in the fray. We're talking stuff like Sorimba (Sora/[[{{WesternAnimation/The Lion King|1994}} Simba]]), Sorasmine (Sora/[[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jasmine]]), Rikucent (Riku/[[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]]) and Xalbeast (Xaldin/[[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Beast]]). There's also some jokey stuff like Rickey (Riku[=/=]WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse) and Sorald (Sora/Donald Duck), although a few of them have serious followings (for example, Soriel, which stands for Sora/[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid Ariel]]).
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' has Japanese fans referring to the popular HoYay ship of [[TheHero Rean]] and [[TheRival Crow]] as "[=KuroRiin/=]クロリン".
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** Link, that HeroicMime studmuffin, [[LauncherOfAThousandShips gets paired with almost every girl in canon]]. Fans of Link/Zelda generally refer to it as Zelink. Then there's Malink (which is usually Malon/Link, but can also be Marin/Link), Midlink (Midna/Link), Midzelink ([[OneTrueThreesome Midna / Zelda / Link]]), Rulink (Ruto/Link), Linkooru (Link/Nabooru), or Linkia (Link/Ilia, could also be Link/Saria). Meanwhile, there's a tiny faction within the fandom that ships Zelda/Ganon as both Zenon and Gazel.
** The Link/Sheik ship generally gets referred to as Shink. The above Midlink has also been written as Mink or Lidna (with the former being the more popular of the two), Link/Ilia as Ilink, Link/Saria as Salink, Midna/Zelda is either Midzel or Melda (which is... somewhat appropriate), and there's a small following for Zelia (Zelda/Ilia - and no, the two characters never meet). Ganondorf/Link has been referred to as Galink, and the popular Dark Link/Link ship gets the unpopular name of Dink (or, occasionally, Dank or Larnk). Zelink, since it can refer to quite a large combination of Zeldas and Links, often gets a qualifier.
** The main appeal for the Link/Ravio pairing is the fact that the pairing is named "Ravioli."
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'': Ghirahim/Link is Ghiralink. Ghirahim, in fact, gets around - in common use is Ghiramise (Ghirahim/Demise, also seen as Ghirademi), Ghirazel (Ghirahim/Zelda), and Ghirafi (Ghirahim/Fi). Demise and Hylia become Demilia, and Zelda/Impa is sometimes called Zelimpa. Amongst the Skyloftians, Link/Groose is Grink, Groose/Pipit is Groopit (or, occasionally, Gropit), and Zelda/Groose has the unfortunate name of Zeloose. Link/Peatrice is Linktrice, but it's rarely shipped due to the fans either considering the latter TheScrappy or because of Zelink.
* ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'' fans generally use the characters' last names for these: for example, "Pricefield" (Chloe Price and Max Caulfield).
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** Portmanteau couple names involving [[PlayerCharacter Shepard]] are quite predictable. Shepard/Kaidan Alenko is "Shenko", Shepard/Garrus Vakarian is "Shakarian" or "Sharrus" (although the former is much more common), Shepard/Thane Krios is "Shrios", Shepard/Joker is "Shoker", Shepard/Liara T'Soni is "Shoni" or "Shiara", Shepard/Ashley Williams is "Shepley", and Shepard/Javik is "Shavik". Often these names implicitly refer to female Shepard, but sometimes people will differentiate between pairings involving male and female Shepard (e.g., "[=femShenko=]" and "[=mShenko=]").
** For non-Shepard ships, [[RoboShip Joker/EDI]] is occasionally called [[Franchise/StarWars Jedi]], Liara/Javik is "T'Sovik", Tali/Kal'Reegar is "Kali", and Ashley Williams/Kaidan Alenko is "Wilenko".
** Tali/Garrus, which actually happens in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' [[PairTheSpares if you didn't romance either of them]], is "Talibrations". (Garrus' half of the portmanteau is supplied by his {{memetic|Mutation}}ally incessant calibrating of the ''Normandy's'' main cannon in ''2''.)
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' gives us Sam + Raiden = [=SamuRaï=]. Also a PunnyName considering that both of them have a samurai theme.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'':
** On the topic of Solid Snake, the only reasonable way to portmanteau Snake/Otacon is by using the Japanese pairing name -- Otasune (note that this implies that Snake is the {{Uke}}). Western fans who want to portmanteau the pairing (most don't) either have to hijack the Japanese word, use '[[UnfortunateNames Snotacon]]' (which has [[http://karaii.deviantart.com/art/MGS-SNOTacon-48362839 been parodied]] in fanworks), or decide whether [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Snakon or Snacon]] should be used.
** Still on the topic of Snake; from VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3's fandom, we get Volkov for the infamous canon Volgin-Raikov relationship, Ocekov for Ocelot-Raikov, and Bosselot for Big Boss/Ocelot.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' series has a few, the most popular being Rundamus or Runmus (Rundas/Samus), Ghandradamus (Ghandrayda/Samus), and more recently, Ianmus (Ian/Samus) and Adamus (Adam/Samus).
* ''VideoGame/NightInTheWoods'' has Maebea for Mae/Bea, provided by one of Mae's journal entries as a pun on "maybe". Fans are indecisive on what to call OfficialCouple Gregg/Angus, though; using Grangus, Angregg and everything in between.
* A lot of these show up in ''[[VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}} Onmyōji]]'', but special mention goes to the Arakawa-no-aruji × Ichimokuren and Susabi × Ichimokuren pairings, as Arakawa-no-aruji's name (荒川の主) and Susabi's name (荒) start with the same kanji. If you see a kanji ship name that is 荒目, that's [=AraMoku=], and if it's 荒一, that's [=SusaIchi=]. [[note]]Most Japanese fans simply write the ship names in ''kana''.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' ship names include: Widowtracer for Widowmaker/Tracer, [=McReaper=] for [=McCree=]/Reaper, Pharmercy for Pharah/Mercy (which doubles as a pun on Mercy's medical profession), Genyatta for Genji/Zenyatta, Roadrat for Roadhog/Junkrat, [=Reaper76=] for Reaper/Soldier:76, Symmercy for Symmetra/Mercy, Junkmetra for Junkrat/Symmetra, Gency for Genji/Mercy, Mercymaker for Mercy/Widowmaker, Junkmei for Mei/Junkrat, and Tremily for Tracer/Emily.
* Every single pairing in ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' has a near-universally used one: Chelley (Chell/Wheatley), [=ChellDOS=] (Chell/[=GLaDOS=]), Chellmann (Chell/Doug Rattmann)... as you can see, the fans think Chell ReallyGetsAround. For the few non Chell pairings, we have Cavealine (Cave/Caroline), Spaceosity (Space Core/Curiosity Core), Factventure (Adventure "Rick" Core/Fact Core), Angrality (Anger Core/Morality Core) and [=WheatDOS=] (Wheatley/[=GLaDOS=]).
* The ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' fandom have taken to using "[=SigAmi=]" to refer to Amitie/Sig, "[=ScheArl=]" for Schezo/Arle, "[=MaguRin=]" for Maguro/Ringo, just to name a few examples (and certainly not all of them).
* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' has a few of these: Claire Redfield/Leon S. Kennedy is "Cleon", Ada Wong/Leon is "Aeon", and Chris Redfield/Leon is "Creon". There's also "Chrisker" for [[FoeYay Chris/Wesker]], Nivanfield for [[HoYay Piers Nivans/Chris]], and Claire/Steve Burnside is "Cleve".
* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** "Sonadow" (Sonic/Shadow), "Shackles" (Shadow/Knuckles), "Sonamy" (Sonic/Amy) and "Shadamy" (Shadow/Amy), among others. Lots of others.
** There's "Shadouge" (Shadow/Rouge), "Taiream" (Tails/Cream), "Taismo" (Tails/Cosmo), "Sonaze" (Sonic/Blaze), "Silvaze" (Silver/Blaze), "Silvamy" (Silver/Amy), "Taimy" (Tails/Amy), "Knuxouge" (Knuckles/Rouge), "Sontails" or "Sonails" (Sonic/Tails), "Shadaria" (Shadow/Maria)...
** "Sonunckles" (Sonic/Knuckles). Or "Suckles". Not for the "suck=bad" notion, but for the fact that the thought of "suckling" being involved drives others to {{squick}} territory.
** "Tikaos" is the fandom's name for the Chaos/Tikal pairing. This got confusing once a character actually ''named'' Tikaos was introduced. (Who, incidentally, was a fusion of the two, meaning it could be a nod to the fandom's habit of making up names like this).
** ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' references Sonamy by name, as one of many in-universe fanfics written by a ''Misery''-style fanboy.
** The third Twitter Takeover references Sonadow by name when Eggman receives a message from [[VideoGame/SonicForces Infinite]] in the form of a file by that name. To which Sonic reacts...[[SuddenlyShouting loudly]] while Shadow reacts with [[NoJustNoReaction a bit more tact]].
** And then the fourth has Tails reference Sonamy by name when Sonic runs away after Tails, Eggman and Shadow start teasing him about Amy.
--> '''Tails:''' Wow, he's not normally like that. Well, ''one'' thing's for sure now; the Sonamy fans are gonna go '''nuts'''.
* ''VideoGame/StarFox'' has Falox (Falco/Fox), Wolox (Wolf/Fox) and Jimpep (James/Peppy).
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** The OfficialCouple, Mario/Peach, is usually "Meach" but "Mareach" is not unheard of.
** The {{Fan Preferred Couple}}s also have these. [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy Luigi/Daisy]] is "Luaisy", [[PairTheSpares Luigi/Rosalina]] is "Luisalina" or "Luigalina", [[CrackPairing Bowser]][[StockholmSyndrome /]][[AbductionIsLove Peach]] is "Powser", [[AmazonChaser Mario/Daisy]] is "Maisy", and [[WeaknessTurnsHerOn Luigi/Peach]] is "Luich".
* Some variations exist in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', most prominently [=KyoCellen=] ([[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Kyosuke/Excellen]]), the current OfficialCouple of the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG series]]. And then by OG Gaiden, there's another variant like [=AxFimi=] (Axel/Alfimi). Also [=AxMia=] (Axel/Lamia), or alternatively called [=LaXel=].
* Fans of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' who enjoy the semi-canonical resident CrackPairing of [[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snake]] / [[VideoGame/MetroidPrime Samus Aran]] almost universally refer to it as Snakus (those who don't most likely use the term Solid Samus).
** There's also Pike (Ike/Pit), Mike (Ike/Marth), Like (Ike/Link), Mink (Marth/Link), and Pink (Pit/Link). For the ladies, Samus/Zelda has got Zelus, and Zelda/Peach has Pelda.
** With a game with so many characters from so many video games, the possibilities are almost limitless. A few examples are Smarthus (Marth/Samus), Shike (Sheik/Ike), Meta Puff (Meta Knight/Jigglypuff), and Nessna (Ness/Nana). Total possible ships: 1,764! And that doesn't even take the Assist Trophies into account.
* While OfficialCouple Cheria and Asbel from ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'' don't really have a common moniker, the popular pairing Richard/Asbel goes by the amusingly appropriate nickname [=RichAss=].
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' fandom: "Chess" ([[HoYay Cless/Chester]]) and "Archester" (Chester/Arche).
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'':
** The 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), Shelloyd (Lloyd/Sheena), Colloyd ([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.
** There's also Raingal (Raine/Regal) and Shuan (Sheena/Yuan). And fans of PuppyLove have Gesea (Genis/Presea), which comes with a warning against naming it with the names switched...
* There are only a few to come out of ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss''. One is the surprisingly popular Guytalia (Guy/Natalia), and another is Jadist, (Jade/Dist) which is just amazing because it sounds like a pun on fonist.
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'', ''Yuri himself'' create the name for the, erm, yuri pairing Ristelle (Rita/Estelle) ''[[InvokedTrope in-universe]]''. Naturally, this drove the yuri fans ''completely wild''. Fans also have created Yustelle (Yuri/Estelle), Reirita (Raven/Rita), and Fluri (Yuri/Flynn).
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'''s FanPreferredCouple of Heavy/Medic doesn't have a portmanteau name (how exactly would one smash together "Heavy" and "Medic," anyway? Hevic? Medy?), but the second most-preferred couple [[FoeYay Spy and Sniper]] does: Spyper. [[https://youtu.be/-GNnftq744I This video]] suggests the hilariously unfortunate portmanteau of Spy and Pyro.
* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'':
** For Alice/Marisa there is both "[=MAlice=]" (though more often in reference to ''Imperishable Night'', in which you can switch between the two characters, but there's a sort of bug which effectively allows you to hit an enemy with both of their attacks simultaneously, which fans have dubbed "Malice Cannon"), and "[=MariAri=]" (since the [[GratuitousEnglish Japanese way of saying "Alice"]] would be "Arisu"; in English it's "[=MariAli=]").
** Some Reimu/Yukari shippers are given to using the term "[=YukaRei=]" for their pet pairing.
** Other examples include "[=TeruMoko=]" (Kaguya + Mokou, "Teruyo" being a deliberate misreading of the kanji for "Kaguya"; also known as "[=KaguMoko=]" in English), "[=MeiSaku=]" (Meiling + Sakuya),"[=ReiMari=]" (Marisa+Reimu), "[=UdoMyon=]" (Reisen aka Udongein + Youmu, who is often known as "Myon" for an exclamation she utters... once) etc.
* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' has, among others, "Alphyne" ([[OfficialCouple Alphys/Undyne]]), "Undyrus" (Papyrus/Undyne), "Soriel" (Sans/Toriel), and "Torigore" or "Asgoriel" (Toriel/Asgore). [[spoiler:Asriel ''would'' be a potential third name for the last one, but...well, that's their kid. [[GiverOfLameNames That Asgore named.]]]]
* The increasing popularity of ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' has led to a number of these:
** For [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Daigo]] alone, there's [=RyuDai=] for Ryuji/[[TheDon Daigo]], [=MineDai=] for Mine/Daigo, [=MajiDai=] for Majima/Daigo, and [=ShinaDai=] for Shinada/Daigo.
** For Majima, there's [=KazuMaji=] for Kazuma/Majima, [=MajiMako=] for Majima/Makoto, [=SagaMaji=] (or [=SagaMa=] on Pixiv) for Sagawa/Majima, and [=SaeMaji=] for Saejima/Majima.
** For other pairings, there's [=SaeBaba=] for Saejima/Shigeki Baba, [=AkiHana=] for Akiyama/Hana, and [=KiriNishiki=] for Kiryu/Nishiki.
* ''Franchise/BreathOfFire'' in general has [=RyuNina=] (Ryu/Nina, natch), whilst ''IV'' also has [=FouMami=] (for the het pairing Fou/Mami) and [=FouRyu=] (for the [[ScrewYourself selfcest slash]] pairing Fou/Ryu).
** ''II'' has [=RyuKatt=] (in a rare example of this trope where there is no Japanese equivalent--the Japanese name for Katt is Rinpoo in accordance with [[DubNameChange The Unwritten Rule Of Capcom Localisation Renamings]]).
** ''II'' also has a rare example of this trope ''not'' related to romantic pairings; there is an entire ''constellation'' of portmanteau names for [[FusionDance fusion forms]] you can take with other party members.
* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'': The forum community uses Numitron for Numina/Positron. There was also a concerted attempt by some members to use Statesline for a Steasman/Faultline CrackPairing.
* ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' fandom has "Maomaz" to describe the [[VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice Mao/Almaz]] pairing, and also "Maoberyl" for Mao/Raspberyl and "Flaharl" for [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Flonne/Laharl]].
* ''Franchise/DragonAge'' has many.
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'':
*** "Fenders" refers to the pairing of Fenris and Anders. "Fenhanders" refers to a [[ThreeWaySex three-way]] or LoveTriangle with both characters and [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]].
*** "Vanders" ([[TheCharmer Varric]][=/=][[FallenHero Anders]]) is occasionally seen as well, as are "Fenbela" and "Merribela" ([[TroubledButCute Fenris]] or [[TheCutie Merrill]][=/=][[PirateGirl Isabela]]).
*** "Handers" is also seen for Hawke/Anders. Hawke/Isabela is sometimes called "Hawkbela."
*** There's a faction which ships Hawke with the [[FoeYay Arishok]]; this pairing is sometimes called "Arihawke."
*** "Bethras" has been devised for Varric/Bethany, while "Merriver" is sometimes applied to Carver/Merrill.
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'':
*** "Adoribull" for Iron Bull and Dorian, [[PairTheSpares who hook up if neither is romanced by the Inquisitor]].
*** "Solavellan" for fans of '''So'''las and '''Lavellan''', given that Solas can only be romanced by a female elf Inquisitor, whose surname is Lavellan.
*** "Pavellan" is seen fairly often for for Dorian Pavus/male Lavellan.
*** Cullen can only be romanced by female humans (Trevelyan) or elves (Lavellan), so his canon ships are either "Cullevelyan" or "Cullavellan." Non-canonically, he's sometimes paired with Dorian, which is known as "Cullrian."
*** The non-canonical pairing of Varric/Cassandra is known as "Tethraghast."
* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' has [=JuVie=] for Julie Farkas/Veronica.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** The fandom has plenty of these, especially ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. First, there's the obvious LoveTriangle with Clerith/Cleris/Clorith (Cloud and Aeris/Aerith shippers) and Cloti/Clifa (Cloud/Tifa shippers) often being [[ShipToShipCombat violently at war]] with each other and shippers who go "Why choose?" opting for [=CloTiRis=] (Cloud/Tifa/Aeris) instead. Then there's Yuffietine/Yuffentine (the somewhat implausible Vincent/Yuffie), followed by the ''even less'' plausible [=AeriSeph=] (Sephiroth/Aeris). Add Zack into the mix, and you get Zerith (Zack/Aerith) and Clack (Cloud/Zack). That's not even going into all the HoYay pairings of the highly {{Bishonen}} heroes and villains...
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' has a rather unfortunate one: Tidus/Yuna = ''Tuna''. The game also has Aurikku (Auron/Rikku), Tikku (Tidus/Rikku), and [=YuRi=] (Yuna/Rikku), but the two funniest ones are Rippal (Rikku/Gippal) and Lukka (Lulu/Wakka), the latter which is a homophone of the largest city in the game's world.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' mainly avoids them, since the LauncherOfAThousandShips of the fandom is named 'Squall'. 'Squh' sounds don't portmanteau well. Squinoa isn't so bad, but Squistis? Squeifer? Or, most unpleasantly onomatopoeically, Squelphie? Squell is not unheard of, though. Nor Squaerith, for that matter. Not to mention Squikku is probably more common than you'd think likely.
*** From the same game we also have "Seiftis" (previously known as Quiefer) for the Seifer/Quistis pairing, "Quall" for Quistis and Squall, "Selvine" for Selphie and Irvine, and "Zellphie" for Zell and Selphie.
*** Squall may not have been in too many good portmanteaus before, but that's because he was saving up for possibly the best one ever. Ladies and gentlemen, ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' has gifted to us the pairing of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Squall]] and the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Warrior Of Light]], abbreviated as "[=SqWoL=]."
*** Also from ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', those who favor the UnholyMatrimony of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyII The Emperor]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia]] have started using Pala/Mecia--the "mecia" being the last bit of Ulty's name, the rest referring to the fact that the Emperor's AllThereInTheManual surname and name of the country he rules in his original canon is "Palamecia."
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'' gives us [[LesYay Fanille]] (Fang/Vanille), [[LesYay FLight]] (Fang/Lightning), [[HoYay Noehopu]] (Noel/Hope), [[FanPreferredCouple HopuRai]] (Hope/Lightning), Noerah (Noel/Serah), [[FoeYayShipping Cairai]] (Caius/Lightning), and Snope (Snow/Hope).
*** If you want to throw in ''CrossoverShip'', Lightis ([[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV Noctis]]/Lightning) have quite a large following as well
** Fans of [[LadyOfWar Agrias]] / [[TheHero Ramza]] in VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics tend to call their pairing Agriamza.
** Each combination of the four [[FanNickname Chocobros]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' has its own ship name: Promptis (Prompto/Noctis), Gladnis (Gladio/Ignis), Ignoct (Ignis/Noctis), Promptio (Prompto/Gladio), Gladnoct (Gladio/Noctis), and Promnis (Prompto/Ignis). There's also Noctluna/Lunoct for the OfficialCouple of Noctis/Lunafreya, and Ardynoct for [[FoeYay Ardyn/Noctis]].
** [[StrongGirlSmartGuy Ignis/Aranea]] gets a little creative with their ship name Highspecs. The first part being the beginning of Aranea's last name, Highwind, while the later is Aranea's nickname for the royal advisor.
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' is starting to sprout some, for the more popular couples:
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'': The Male [[CanonName Robin]]/Lucina ship is "Robcina", the Female Robin/Chrom ship is "Chrobin", and Chrom/Sumia is "Chromia". "Lucinigo" also gets thrown around occasionally for Inigo/Lucina.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'': For the player character, [[CanonName Corrin]]/Azura is "Azurrin", and Female Corrin/Xander is "Coriander". For the royals, the [[FoeYay pairings]] of [[HoYay Ryoma/Xander and Leo/Takumi]] are dubbed "Ryomarx" (after Xander's Japanese name, Marx) and Leokumi. The royal sisters also have the ship names "Caminoka" (Camilla/Hinoka) and "Elisaku" (Elise/Sakura), but those aren't used as often. There is also "Leorrin" for Leo/Corrin.
* ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'', despite the characters being [[spoiler:haunted]] [[RoboShip robots]], has Foxica (Foxy/Chica), Freddica (Freddy/Chica), Bonnica (Bonnie/Chica), Fronnie (Freddy/Bonnie), Fangle or Moxy (Foxy/Mangle), and Springle or Sprangle (Springtrap/Mangle).
* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' has Trikey for Trevor/Michael.
* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' runs rampant with pairings, although the most commonly seen portmanteaus are "Grary" (for Gray/Mary, one of the rival pairings in the ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonBackToNature Mineral Town]]'' games) and "Graire" (for Gray/Claire, the CanonName given to the blonde female farmer from the ''Mineral Town'' games).
* ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' has Blayden for Norman Jayden and Carter Blake.
* ''Franchise/TheIdolmaster'':
** 765 Pro All Stars/Million Live:
*** [=HaruChiha=] (Haruka/Chihaya), whose respective seiyuus Eriko Nakamura and Asami Imai also get one of their own in the form of Eringosu (Eriko/Mingosu, the latter a popular nickname for Asami) or A.I.E.N.
*** [=HibiTaka=] (Hibiki/Takane). Likewise, their seiyuus (Manami Numakura and Yumi Hara) are sometimes shipped together as Haranu (from their surnames).
*** Others are [=YayoIori=] (Yayoi/Iori) and [=YukiMako=] (Yukiho/Makoto)
** Cinderella Girls:
*** [=UzuRin=] (Uzuki/Rin), [=TakeRin=] (Takeuchi Producer [from the anime series]/Rin), [=AnKira=] (Anzu/Kirari), [=ShikiFure=] (Shiki/Frederica), [=AriFumi=] (Arisu/Fumika)
** Million Live:
*** [=MiraShizu=] (Mirai/Shizuka), [=ShizuShiho=] (Shizuka/Shiho), [=KotoMegu=] (Kotoha/Megumi), [=EmiTsumu=] (Emily/Tsumugi), [=KonoRio=] (Konomi/Rio)
** Shiny Colors:
*** [=ManoHio=] (Mano/Hiori), [=SakuMami=] (Sakuya/Mamimi), [=JuriNatsu=] (Juri/Natsuha), [=AsaFuyu=] (Asahi/Fuyuko), [=ToMado=] (Toru/Madoka)
* ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'' fans have created the Website/{{Pixiv}} tag "Fubukiyamaru" for Fubuki Shirou + Kiyama Hiroto + Kazemaru Ichirouta. Although it's frequently used in a non-shipping context for pictures which simply feature all three of those characters, since Pixiv has a limit of 10 tags per picture. There's also "Endaki" for Endou/Aki.
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
** ''Kingdom Hearts'''s names are usually either a portmanteau of their English names or the Romaji of their Japanese names. English examples include any combination of So(ra), Ri(ku) and Kai(ri) (including [[OneTrueThreesome all three at once]]), as well as Larxel (Larxene/Axel), Mansaix (the latter being Xemnas' anagram Mansex mixed with Saix), [=Roxora=] ([[ScrewYourself Sora/Roxas]]), [=RoxEtte=] (Roxas/Olette), [=Roxayner=] (Roxas/Hayner), [=RoXion=] (Roxas/Xion), [=Namiku=] (Riku/Namine), [=KairiNe=] (Kairi/Namine), [=MarLar=] (Marluxia/Larxene. Alternatively, [[spoiler:Laurena, for their Somebodies Lauriam and Elrena]]), Aelenzo (Aeleus/Ienzo) and Zemyx (Zexion/Demyx). Romanji examples include [[OfficialCouple [=SoKai=]]], [[HoYay So]][[RivalTurnedEvil Riku]], [[OneTrueThreesome SoRiKai]], [=RokuNami/NamiRoku=] (Roxas/Namine), [=VekuRekuZeku=] (Vexen/Lexaeus/Zexion), [[HoYay AkuRoku]] (Axel/Roxas), [=AkuShi=] (Axel/Xion), [=RokuShi=] (Roxas/Xion, again) and [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs [=AkuRokuShi=]]] for the Romaji. And those are the ''common'' ones.
** ''358/2 Days'' gave us [=Saixel/AkuSai=] (Saix/Axel). Or the amusing Lisa (Lea/Isa), taking from their true names.
** Also [=TerrAqua=] (Terra/Aqua) and [=VanVen=] (Vanitas/Ventus) from ''Birth by Sleep'', among others ([=VenAqua=], [=VanAqua=], [=TerrVen=], etc.). You also have the more obscure Xehaqus/Eranort (Xehanort/Eraqus).
** With the MassiveMultiplayerCrossover nature of the game, some [[CrossoverShip Crossover Ships]] are inevitable, most popularly [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cl]][[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII eon]] (Cloud/Leon) and the CrackPairing Seiner (Seifer/Hayner). Alternatively, [[{{Pun}} Heifer]].
** The fun really begins when you start including the actual Disney mascots in the fray. We're talking stuff like Sorimba (Sora/[[{{WesternAnimation/The Lion King|1994}} Simba]]), Sorasmine (Sora/[[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jasmine]]), Rikucent (Riku/[[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]]) and Xalbeast (Xaldin/[[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Beast]]). There's also some jokey stuff like Rickey (Riku[=/=]WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse) and Sorald (Sora/Donald Duck), although a few of them have serious followings (for example, Soriel, which stands for Sora/[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid Ariel]]).
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' has Japanese fans referring to the popular HoYay ship of [[TheHero Rean]] and [[TheRival Crow]] as "[=KuroRiin/=]クロリン".
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** Link, that HeroicMime studmuffin, [[LauncherOfAThousandShips gets paired with almost every girl in canon]]. Fans of Link/Zelda generally refer to it as Zelink. Then there's Malink (which is usually Malon/Link, but can also be Marin/Link), Midlink (Midna/Link), Midzelink ([[OneTrueThreesome Midna / Zelda / Link]]), Rulink (Ruto/Link), Linkooru (Link/Nabooru), or Linkia (Link/Ilia, could also be Link/Saria). Meanwhile, there's a tiny faction within the fandom that ships Zelda/Ganon as both Zenon and Gazel.
** The Link/Sheik ship generally gets referred to as Shink. The above Midlink has also been written as Mink or Lidna (with the former being the more popular of the two), Link/Ilia as Ilink, Link/Saria as Salink, Midna/Zelda is either Midzel or Melda (which is... somewhat appropriate), and there's a small following for Zelia (Zelda/Ilia - and no, the two characters never meet). Ganondorf/Link has been referred to as Galink, and the popular Dark Link/Link ship gets the unpopular name of Dink (or, occasionally, Dank or Larnk). Zelink, since it can refer to quite a large combination of Zeldas and Links, often gets a qualifier.
** The main appeal for the Link/Ravio pairing is the fact that the pairing is named "Ravioli."
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'': Ghirahim/Link is Ghiralink. Ghirahim, in fact, gets around - in common use is Ghiramise (Ghirahim/Demise, also seen as Ghirademi), Ghirazel (Ghirahim/Zelda), and Ghirafi (Ghirahim/Fi). Demise and Hylia become Demilia, and Zelda/Impa is sometimes called Zelimpa. Amongst the Skyloftians, Link/Groose is Grink, Groose/Pipit is Groopit (or, occasionally, Gropit), and Zelda/Groose has the unfortunate name of Zeloose. Link/Peatrice is Linktrice, but it's rarely shipped due to the fans either considering the latter TheScrappy or because of Zelink.
* ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'' fans generally use the characters' last names for these: for example, "Pricefield" (Chloe Price and Max Caulfield).
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** Portmanteau couple names involving [[PlayerCharacter Shepard]] are quite predictable. Shepard/Kaidan Alenko is "Shenko", Shepard/Garrus Vakarian is "Shakarian" or "Sharrus" (although the former is much more common), Shepard/Thane Krios is "Shrios", Shepard/Joker is "Shoker", Shepard/Liara T'Soni is "Shoni" or "Shiara", Shepard/Ashley Williams is "Shepley", and Shepard/Javik is "Shavik". Often these names implicitly refer to female Shepard, but sometimes people will differentiate between pairings involving male and female Shepard (e.g., "[=femShenko=]" and "[=mShenko=]").
** For non-Shepard ships, [[RoboShip Joker/EDI]] is occasionally called [[Franchise/StarWars Jedi]], Liara/Javik is "T'Sovik", Tali/Kal'Reegar is "Kali", and Ashley Williams/Kaidan Alenko is "Wilenko".
** Tali/Garrus, which actually happens in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' [[PairTheSpares if you didn't romance either of them]], is "Talibrations". (Garrus' half of the portmanteau is supplied by his {{memetic|Mutation}}ally incessant calibrating of the ''Normandy's'' main cannon in ''2''.)
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' gives us Sam + Raiden = [=SamuRaï=]. Also a PunnyName considering that both of them have a samurai theme.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'':
** On the topic of Solid Snake, the only reasonable way to portmanteau Snake/Otacon is by using the Japanese pairing name -- Otasune (note that this implies that Snake is the {{Uke}}). Western fans who want to portmanteau the pairing (most don't) either have to hijack the Japanese word, use '[[UnfortunateNames Snotacon]]' (which has [[http://karaii.deviantart.com/art/MGS-SNOTacon-48362839 been parodied]] in fanworks), or decide whether [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Snakon or Snacon]] should be used.
** Still on the topic of Snake; from VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3's fandom, we get Volkov for the infamous canon Volgin-Raikov relationship, Ocekov for Ocelot-Raikov, and Bosselot for Big Boss/Ocelot.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' series has a few, the most popular being Rundamus or Runmus (Rundas/Samus), Ghandradamus (Ghandrayda/Samus), and more recently, Ianmus (Ian/Samus) and Adamus (Adam/Samus).
* ''VideoGame/NightInTheWoods'' has Maebea for Mae/Bea, provided by one of Mae's journal entries as a pun on "maybe". Fans are indecisive on what to call OfficialCouple Gregg/Angus, though; using Grangus, Angregg and everything in between.
* A lot of these show up in ''[[VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}} Onmyōji]]'', but special mention goes to the Arakawa-no-aruji × Ichimokuren and Susabi × Ichimokuren pairings, as Arakawa-no-aruji's name (荒川の主) and Susabi's name (荒) start with the same kanji. If you see a kanji ship name that is 荒目, that's [=AraMoku=], and if it's 荒一, that's [=SusaIchi=]. [[note]]Most Japanese fans simply write the ship names in ''kana''.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' ship names include: Widowtracer for Widowmaker/Tracer, [=McReaper=] for [=McCree=]/Reaper, Pharmercy for Pharah/Mercy (which doubles as a pun on Mercy's medical profession), Genyatta for Genji/Zenyatta, Roadrat for Roadhog/Junkrat, [=Reaper76=] for Reaper/Soldier:76, Symmercy for Symmetra/Mercy, Junkmetra for Junkrat/Symmetra, Gency for Genji/Mercy, Mercymaker for Mercy/Widowmaker, Junkmei for Mei/Junkrat, and Tremily for Tracer/Emily.
* Every single pairing in ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' has a near-universally used one: Chelley (Chell/Wheatley), [=ChellDOS=] (Chell/[=GLaDOS=]), Chellmann (Chell/Doug Rattmann)... as you can see, the fans think Chell ReallyGetsAround. For the few non Chell pairings, we have Cavealine (Cave/Caroline), Spaceosity (Space Core/Curiosity Core), Factventure (Adventure "Rick" Core/Fact Core), Angrality (Anger Core/Morality Core) and [=WheatDOS=] (Wheatley/[=GLaDOS=]).
* The ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' fandom have taken to using "[=SigAmi=]" to refer to Amitie/Sig, "[=ScheArl=]" for Schezo/Arle, "[=MaguRin=]" for Maguro/Ringo, just to name a few examples (and certainly not all of them).
* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' has a few of these: Claire Redfield/Leon S. Kennedy is "Cleon", Ada Wong/Leon is "Aeon", and Chris Redfield/Leon is "Creon". There's also "Chrisker" for [[FoeYay Chris/Wesker]], Nivanfield for [[HoYay Piers Nivans/Chris]], and Claire/Steve Burnside is "Cleve".
* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** "Sonadow" (Sonic/Shadow), "Shackles" (Shadow/Knuckles), "Sonamy" (Sonic/Amy) and "Shadamy" (Shadow/Amy), among others. Lots of others.
** There's "Shadouge" (Shadow/Rouge), "Taiream" (Tails/Cream), "Taismo" (Tails/Cosmo), "Sonaze" (Sonic/Blaze), "Silvaze" (Silver/Blaze), "Silvamy" (Silver/Amy), "Taimy" (Tails/Amy), "Knuxouge" (Knuckles/Rouge), "Sontails" or "Sonails" (Sonic/Tails), "Shadaria" (Shadow/Maria)...
** "Sonunckles" (Sonic/Knuckles). Or "Suckles". Not for the "suck=bad" notion, but for the fact that the thought of "suckling" being involved drives others to {{squick}} territory.
** "Tikaos" is the fandom's name for the Chaos/Tikal pairing. This got confusing once a character actually ''named'' Tikaos was introduced. (Who, incidentally, was a fusion of the two, meaning it could be a nod to the fandom's habit of making up names like this).
** ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' references Sonamy by name, as one of many in-universe fanfics written by a ''Misery''-style fanboy.
** The third Twitter Takeover references Sonadow by name when Eggman receives a message from [[VideoGame/SonicForces Infinite]] in the form of a file by that name. To which Sonic reacts...[[SuddenlyShouting loudly]] while Shadow reacts with [[NoJustNoReaction a bit more tact]].
** And then the fourth has Tails reference Sonamy by name when Sonic runs away after Tails, Eggman and Shadow start teasing him about Amy.
--> '''Tails:''' Wow, he's not normally like that. Well, ''one'' thing's for sure now; the Sonamy fans are gonna go '''nuts'''.
* ''VideoGame/StarFox'' has Falox (Falco/Fox), Wolox (Wolf/Fox) and Jimpep (James/Peppy).
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** The OfficialCouple, Mario/Peach, is usually "Meach" but "Mareach" is not unheard of.
** The {{Fan Preferred Couple}}s also have these. [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy Luigi/Daisy]] is "Luaisy", [[PairTheSpares Luigi/Rosalina]] is "Luisalina" or "Luigalina", [[CrackPairing Bowser]][[StockholmSyndrome /]][[AbductionIsLove Peach]] is "Powser", [[AmazonChaser Mario/Daisy]] is "Maisy", and [[WeaknessTurnsHerOn Luigi/Peach]] is "Luich".
* Some variations exist in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', most prominently [=KyoCellen=] ([[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Kyosuke/Excellen]]), the current OfficialCouple of the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG series]]. And then by OG Gaiden, there's another variant like [=AxFimi=] (Axel/Alfimi). Also [=AxMia=] (Axel/Lamia), or alternatively called [=LaXel=].
* Fans of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' who enjoy the semi-canonical resident CrackPairing of [[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snake]] / [[VideoGame/MetroidPrime Samus Aran]] almost universally refer to it as Snakus (those who don't most likely use the term Solid Samus).
** There's also Pike (Ike/Pit), Mike (Ike/Marth), Like (Ike/Link), Mink (Marth/Link), and Pink (Pit/Link). For the ladies, Samus/Zelda has got Zelus, and Zelda/Peach has Pelda.
** With a game with so many characters from so many video games, the possibilities are almost limitless. A few examples are Smarthus (Marth/Samus), Shike (Sheik/Ike), Meta Puff (Meta Knight/Jigglypuff), and Nessna (Ness/Nana). Total possible ships: 1,764! And that doesn't even take the Assist Trophies into account.
* While OfficialCouple Cheria and Asbel from ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'' don't really have a common moniker, the popular pairing Richard/Asbel goes by the amusingly appropriate nickname [=RichAss=].
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' fandom: "Chess" ([[HoYay Cless/Chester]]) and "Archester" (Chester/Arche).
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'':
** The 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), Shelloyd (Lloyd/Sheena), Colloyd ([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.
** There's also Raingal (Raine/Regal) and Shuan (Sheena/Yuan). And fans of PuppyLove have Gesea (Genis/Presea), which comes with a warning against naming it with the names switched...
* There are only a few to come out of ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss''. One is the surprisingly popular Guytalia (Guy/Natalia), and another is Jadist, (Jade/Dist) which is just amazing because it sounds like a pun on fonist.
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'', ''Yuri himself'' create the name for the, erm, yuri pairing Ristelle (Rita/Estelle) ''[[InvokedTrope in-universe]]''. Naturally, this drove the yuri fans ''completely wild''. Fans also have created Yustelle (Yuri/Estelle), Reirita (Raven/Rita), and Fluri (Yuri/Flynn).
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'''s FanPreferredCouple of Heavy/Medic doesn't have a portmanteau name (how exactly would one smash together "Heavy" and "Medic," anyway? Hevic? Medy?), but the second most-preferred couple [[FoeYay Spy and Sniper]] does: Spyper. [[https://youtu.be/-GNnftq744I This video]] suggests the hilariously unfortunate portmanteau of Spy and Pyro.
* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'':
** For Alice/Marisa there is both "[=MAlice=]" (though more often in reference to ''Imperishable Night'', in which you can switch between the two characters, but there's a sort of bug which effectively allows you to hit an enemy with both of their attacks simultaneously, which fans have dubbed "Malice Cannon"), and "[=MariAri=]" (since the [[GratuitousEnglish Japanese way of saying "Alice"]] would be "Arisu"; in English it's "[=MariAli=]").
** Some Reimu/Yukari shippers are given to using the term "[=YukaRei=]" for their pet pairing.
** Other examples include "[=TeruMoko=]" (Kaguya + Mokou, "Teruyo" being a deliberate misreading of the kanji for "Kaguya"; also known as "[=KaguMoko=]" in English), "[=MeiSaku=]" (Meiling + Sakuya),"[=ReiMari=]" (Marisa+Reimu), "[=UdoMyon=]" (Reisen aka Udongein + Youmu, who is often known as "Myon" for an exclamation she utters... once) etc.
* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' has, among others, "Alphyne" ([[OfficialCouple Alphys/Undyne]]), "Undyrus" (Papyrus/Undyne), "Soriel" (Sans/Toriel), and "Torigore" or "Asgoriel" (Toriel/Asgore). [[spoiler:Asriel ''would'' be a potential third name for the last one, but...well, that's their kid. [[GiverOfLameNames That Asgore named.]]]]
* The increasing popularity of ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' has led to a number of these:
** For [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Daigo]] alone, there's [=RyuDai=] for Ryuji/[[TheDon Daigo]], [=MineDai=] for Mine/Daigo, [=MajiDai=] for Majima/Daigo, and [=ShinaDai=] for Shinada/Daigo.
** For Majima, there's [=KazuMaji=] for Kazuma/Majima, [=MajiMako=] for Majima/Makoto, [=SagaMaji=] (or [=SagaMa=] on Pixiv) for Sagawa/Majima, and [=SaeMaji=] for Saejima/Majima.
** For other pairings, there's [=SaeBaba=] for Saejima/Shigeki Baba, [=AkiHana=] for Akiyama/Hana, and [=KiriNishiki=] for Kiryu/Nishiki.
