Portmanteau Couple Name / Webcomics

• Referenced in this Arthur, King of Time and Space strip, which coins the Portmanteau OT3 Name "Arthnevot" (Arthur/Guenevere/Lancelot).
• In Dumbing of Age, Walky calls Becky and Dina "Beckasaur".
• El Goonish Shive: Various names, such as Juke, were suggested for the Justin/Luke pairing, but Lustin was settled upon for obvious reasons.
• Erfworld: Webinar and Dora have been referred to (once) as Webinora by a fan on the Erfworld forums. Bonus: Webinar is itself a portmanteau of "web seminar".
• Girl Genius:
  • Behold the dawn of 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 Brain Uploading / Demonic Possession results have Fan Nicknames 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 ("Der Kestle" in Otilia's body).
• When Gunnerkrigg Court 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.
• 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 Fusion Dance side, we have the B2 sprites — Tavrisprite, Erisolsprite, Fefetasprite, Arquiusprite — as well as Jack Noir's ring-induced transformations: Jackspers Noirlecrow (Jack Noir + Jaspers + Harlequin + Rambunctious Crow) and Bec Noir (Becquerel + Jack Noir, less known as Jacquerel).
• Fans of Honeydew Syndrome have used CharJay for Charles/Jay and CharMay for Charles/Metis.
• Housepets! has the fans' OTP Grape and Peanut, or GrapeNut. Yes, even their couple name has a food theme.
• My Impossible Soulmate: Chiaki/Nagisa is known by fans as "Chigisa".
• NIMONA has "Goldenheart" for Goldenloin/Blackheart, and "Blitzheart" for Blitzmeyer/Blackheart.
• Not really used, but the The Order of the Stick fandom gave one for Xykon/Tsukiko: Xytsuki.
• Penny and Aggie:
  • Forum members are fond of creating, and debating, portmanteau couple names. The most commonly-used ones are "Saraphne" for Official Couple Sara/Daphne, and "Agenny" for Aggie/Penny. Others include "Standi" (Official Couple Stan/Brandi), "Jacky-Ann" or "Katack" (Official Couple Jack/Katy-Ann), and "Stenny" (for the 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.
• PvP did a little Lampshade Hanging 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!"
• Questionable Content:
  • 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 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 Crack Ship Marigold/Pintsize acquired the name... wait for it... Pint-o-Gold.
  • Discussed by the Thanksgiving Turkeys here, as they suggest "MariDale" or "Daligold" for Dale + Marigold, and give the other current Official Couples "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: YOU TOLD ME YOU READ MY FANFIC
  • "Clairten" for Claire/Marten and "Faybles" for Faye/Bubbles.
• By the second Skin Horse strip to show Dr Dennis "Tip" Willkins meeting Narbonic's Artie (RT-5478), the ship had been named RTip-5478.
• Zorg, Gwyff, Riflee and such from Sluggy Freelance.
