Added DiffLines:

* Referenced in [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2112.htm this]] ''Webcomic/ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'' strip, which coins the Portmanteau OT3 Name "Arthnevot" (Arthur/Guenevere/Lancelot).
* In ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', Walky calls Becky and Dina "Beckasaur".
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Various names, such as Juke, were suggested for the Justin/Luke pairing, but Lustin was settled upon [[{{Pun}} for obvious reasons]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'': Webinar and Dora have been referred to (once) as Webinora by a fan on the ''[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0001.html Erfworld]]'' [[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=47 forums]]. Bonus: Webinar is itself a portmanteau of "web seminar".
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
** Behold the dawn of [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080609 Zeethiggs]] ... Ain't they just meant to be?
** The fandom has yet to settle on one single portmanteau name for Agatha and either of her two surviving love interests, although "Agiltha" appears frequently for Agatha/Gil, and both "Targatha" and "Agavek" pop up from time to time for Agatha/Tarvek. Agilvek has shown up for the potential OT3.
** Also, the canon BrainUploading / DemonicPossession results have {{Fan Nickname}}s fitting the trope: Lu'Agatha (Lucrezia in Agatha's body), Von P'Otilia (Otilia in Von Pinn's body), Lunevka (Lucrezia in Anevka's body), O'Kestle ([[GeniusLoci "Der Kestle"]] in Otilia's body).
* When ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' started hinting that James Eglamore and Jones were (or still are) a couple, fans of that 'ship began calling them "Janes". This trope is also parodied with the page quote.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
** Fans do this often, with the Feferi/Eridan ship being notable for contracting to... [=FefEri=]. Meerkat, for Karkat/Meenah, and Rosemary, for Rose/Kanaya (using Kanaya's last name, Maryam), both work out to actual words. Johnkat for John/Karkat, Karezi for Karkat/Terezi, and Daverezi for Terezi/Dave are all also somewhat commonly used.
** There have also been sightings of "Karkade", for Karkat/Jade, which is coincidentally the Egyptian word for a type of herbal tea. However, "Jadekat" is a bit more common.
** On the FusionDance side, we have the B2 [[SpiritAdvisor sprites]] -- Tavrisprite, Erisolsprite, Fefetasprite, Arquiusprite -- as well as Jack Noir's {{ring|OfPower}}-induced transformations: Jackspers Noirlecrow (Jack Noir + Jaspers + Harlequin + Rambunctious Crow) and Bec Noir (Becquerel + Jack Noir, less known as Jacquerel).
* Fans of ''Webcomic/HoneydewSyndrome'' have used [=CharJay=] for Charles/Jay and [=CharMay=] for Charles/Metis.
* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'' has the fans' {{OTP}} Grape and Peanut, or [=GrapeNut=]. Yes, even their couple name has a food theme.
* ''Webcomic/{{Nimona}}'' has "Goldenheart" for Goldenloin/Blackheart, and "Blitzheart" for Blitzmeyer/Blackheart.
* Not really used, but the ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' fandom gave one for Xykon/Tsukiko: Xytsuki.
* ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'':
** 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 [[FoeYayShipping enemy ship Stan/Penny]]).
** Two portmanteau names have appeared in the comic itself: "Standi," which Cyndi uses after that couple's breakup (and well after its coinage in the fandom); and "Lichelle," with which Lisa teases Michelle after the latter says that girl-on-girl sex grosses her out.
* ''{{Webcomic/PvP}}'' did a little LampshadeHanging in the earlier part of the strip when Brent and Jade first got together. Cole told Francis that "That's common when two people you know start dating. Brent and Jade as you knew them are gone now. There is only... [=BrentJade=]!"
* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'':
** The forums are sporadically abuzz with shippers for "Fayten" (Faye + Marten) or "Svaye" (Sven + Faye), and members smacking down the use of portmanteau names. However, "[=HanTai=]" for the gleefully pervy lesbian Tai and the OCD, extremely straight, easily squicked Hannelore (who Tai has an obvious crush on) is damn near universal [[{{Hentai}} for obvious reasons]], even for people who find the idea ridiculous. Jeph dismisses it as stupid, and has (due to the Hantai meme), banned Shipmanteaus from the forums. Not that this has stopped anybody, of course.
** The CrackShip Marigold/Pintsize acquired the name... wait for it... Pint-o-Gold.
** [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] by the Thanksgiving Turkeys [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2586 here]], as they suggest "[=MariDale=]" or "Daligold" for Dale + Marigold, and give the other current {{Official Couple}}s "Fangus" (Faye + Angus), "Tora" (Tai + Dora) and "Willelope" (Will + Penelope). Then "[=Bloodsize=]" for Pintsize and Blood Lord...
--->'''First Turkey:''' Who the hell is "Blood Lord?"\\
'''Second Turkey:''' [[OriginalCharacter YOU TOLD ME YOU READ MY FANFIC]]
** "Clairten" for Claire/Marten and "Faybles" for Faye/Bubbles.
* By the second ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'' strip to show Dr Dennis "Tip" Willkins meeting ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'''s Artie (RT-5478), the ship had been named [=RTip=]-5478.
* Zorg, Gwyff, Riflee and such from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''.
