* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'': Some ship names allude to the characters' respective magic affinities. Bloom x Flora is called [=FireFlower=] (i.e., they are the fairies of the Dragon's Flame and Nature) and Bloom x Stella is [=SunFire=] (i.e., the latter is the fairy of the Sun, Moon, and Stars).

The quasi-paedophilic shipping Bloom x Valtor (she's barely 18 and he's at the very least middle-aged when they meet) is called Sparksshipping because both of them are bearers of the Dragon's Flame--although just a Spark in his case--which originates in planet Sparks (aka Domino).

Added DiffLines:

* ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'': Since the different playable characters [[YouAreNumberSix go by numbered code names]], ships between the series' first three protagonists have names based multiplying these numbers together (acting as a play on the common shipping markup of Character A x Character B):
** Agents 3/8 is known as Agent 24.
** Agents 4/8 is known as Agent 32.
** Agents 3/4 is known as Agent 12.
** Agents 3/4/8 is known as Agent 96.

* ''Franchise/YuGiOh'': Ever since the beginning. [[https://ygo-dm-shippings-list.tumblr.com/list Here]] is a gigantic list with over ''500 pairings'' for [[Anime/YuGiOh Duel Monsters]] alone, and [[https://ygo-vra5dxal-shipping-list.tumblr.com/ here is a link]] that has a shipping list for each of the spinoffs. One of the reasons it's managed to stick around is the heavy use of DubNameChange, SpellMyNameWithAnS, and in the case of the original series, alternate identities or incarnations of the same character, which means that "Yugi/Joey", "Yugi/Jounouchi", "Yuugi/Jonouchi" "Yami Yugi/Joey", "Yami Yugi/Jounouchi" "Dark Yugi/Jounouchi", and "Yami no Yuugi/Jonouchi" are all valid names for just two different pairings (Wishshipping for the former three, Dragonshipping for the latter four).
