| 1 | * In ''Series/The100'' fandom, we have Bellarke (Bellamy/Clarke), Clexa (Clarke/Lexa), Linctavia (Lincoln/Octavia), and Jonty (Jasper/Monty). Occasionally the Clarke/Raven ship will be called Claven, but it's also acquired the IdiosyncraticShipNaming "Princess Mechanic". |
| 2 | * ''Series/TwoBrokeGirls'' fans often use "Maxoline" to refer to the lead duo of Max and Caroline. |
| 3 | * Parodied in-universe in ''Series/ThirtyRock'': when Jenna becomes TheBeard for Creator/JamesFranco in a bid for fame, their portmanteau couple name ends up as "James" (using the J for Jenna). [[DontExplainTheJoke So nobody knows who she is.]] |
| 4 | * ''Series/NineOneOne'' has "Buddie" for the incredibly popular '''Bu'''ck/E'''ddie''' ship. On the canonical side, there are "Bathena" for '''B'''obby/'''Athena''', "Madney" for '''Mad'''die/Chim'''ney''', and "Henren" for '''Hen'''/Ka'''ren'''. |
| 5 | * ''Series/AbbottElementary'': A lot of fans have taken to calling the Barbara/Melissa pairing "Barlissa" as an alternative to the IdiosyncraticShipNaming "Work Wives". |
| 6 | * [[SoapOpera Daytime soap]] fans seem to have a portmanteau name for every couple, every possible couple, and even every impossible couple. For instance, fans of the incestuous HoYay between sisters Kendall and Bianca (Binks) on ''Series/AllMyChildren'' referred to the pair as "Kinks." Also BAM (Bianca and Maggie) is one of the few that only use the first letter of the characters names. |
| 7 | * Portmanteau names are sometimes used by fans of ''Series/TheAmazingRace'' to refer to the teams, without necessarily implying any shipping. This was done most humorously for Heather & Eve in the show's third season: "Heave" referred both to the team and to the reaction they tended to inspire in the show's fans. Other examples are "Momily" (Nancy & Emily, the mother/daughter team from Season 1) and "Dandrew" (Dan & Andrew, Season 13), although IdiosyncraticShipNaming is actually more common with teams. |
| 8 | * ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory'' has a few: |
| 9 | ** ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryMurderHouse'' has "Violate" (Violet/Tate) and "Hotgomery" (Billie Dean Howard/Nora Montgomery). |
| 10 | ** ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryCoven'' has "Foxxay" (Misty Day/Cordelia Foxx), "Zyle" (Zoe/Kyle), and "Zadison" (Zoe/Madison). |
| 11 | ** ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryRoanoke'' has "Shaudrey" for Shelby/Audrey. |
| 12 | * ''Series/ANTFarm'': Flyna (Fletcher Quimby/Chyna Parks), Folive (Fletcher Quimby/Olive Doyle). |
| 13 | * Season 4 of ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' brought us Gob Bluth getting together with Tony Wonder. Their ship name might be expected to be something like "Gony", but since Gob's catchphrase is "I've made a huge mistake", their surnames have been combined to make "Blunder". |
| 14 | * The ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' fandom has plenty of these: |
| 15 | ** In Season 4 episode 16 of ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', the news explicitly uses "Olicity wedding" for Oliver and Felicity, and Thea herself seems to know the portmanteau names of all celebrity couples in Star City. Other ships involving the main character include Canarrow (Oliver/Sara), Lauriver (Oliver/Laurel) and Olyssa (Oliver/Nyssa). |
| 16 | ** ''{{Series/The Flash 2014}}'': Because Iris's last name upon marriage is West-Allen, the show has explicitly since season 1 had [[OfficialCouple Westallen]] said aloud in relation to ([[ForegoneConclusion Iris/Barry]]), and [[KidFromTheFuture Nora West-Allen]] explicitly states "West-Allen is legendary" in her diary, when referring to her parents' love. The Flash also has [[{{Pun}} Snowbarry]] ([[DoomedByCanon Caitlin/Barry]]), Baricity (Barry/Felicity), Snowstorm (Caitlin/Ronnie), Westpark ([[LesYay Iris/Linda]]) and Caitlicity ([[LesYay Caitlin/Felicity]]). Eddie/Iris was sometimes referred to as Westhawne. |
| 17 | ** Over on ''Series/Supergirl2015'', Maggie Sawyer and Alex Danvers took no time whatsoever to become "Sanvers". Ships involving the main character include Karolsen (Kara Danvers / James Olsen), Karamel (Kara / Mon-El) and Karlena (Kara / Lena Luthor). That last one is also often referred to as Supercorp (Supergirl / L-Corp). As of season 6, there's also the canon pairings Dansen (Alex Danvers/Kelly Olsen)and Brainia (Brainiac 5/Nia Nal). |
| 18 | ** ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' has a couple -- Amari for Amaya / Zari, and Avalance for Sara Lance and Agent Ava Sharpe. There's also Zarlie (Zari/Charlie). |
| 19 | ** ''Series/Batwoman2019'' has "Kanvers" for Kate Kane / Kara Danvers, either "Batmoore" or "Kanemoore" for Kate / Sophie Moore, and "Wildmoore" for Sophie / Ryan Wilder. |
| 20 | * ''Series/AsTheWorldTurns'' has [=CarJack=] (Jack/Carly), Lilden (Holden/Lily), Cake (Luke/[[FauxYay Casey]]), [[ShipToShipCombat Nuke(Luke/Noah), and [=LuRE=]]] (Luke/Reid, less commonly written as Ruke). |
| 21 | * ''Series/AshesToAshes2008'': "Galex" for Gene/Alex. It's also the only portmanteau name used by parts of fandom - Chris/Shaz seems to have escaped, for now. |
| 22 | * ''Series/BabylonBerlin'' has "Gerlotte" for Gereon/Charlotte. |
| 23 | * ''Series/BatesMotel'': |
| 24 | ** "Normero" is for the Norma/Romero ship. |
| 25 | ** "Dylemma" for Dylan/Emma, which was liked so much that the creators have even used it. |
| 26 | * ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'' fandom seems to avoid this, with the exception of Starpollo (Starbuck and Apollo), although Rosadama (Roslin and Adama) does make the odd appearance. Couple names are usually connected by slashes. Perhaps because the characters' names don't lend themselves to portmanteaus. |
| 27 | * ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' introduced an in-universe example when Leonard dubbed Sheldon and Amy "Shamy"...to which Amy (predictably) took exception to. Fans also use "Shenny" for Sheldon/Penny and "Lenny" for Leonard/Penny. |
| 28 | * ''Series/BombGirls'' fans refer to Betty [=McRae=]/anybody by putting the first syllable of Betty's surname first: [=McAndrews=] (Betty/Kate Andrews), [=McWitham=] (Betty/Gladys Witham) and [=McBond=] (Betty/Teresa Hill, the bond tour soldier). |
| 29 | * ''Series/{{Bones}}'' fandom had Hodgela for the ship of Hodgins and Angela, and Brenangela or Brengela for the popular femmeslash pair of Brennan and Angela, although remarkably, the main {{OTP}} of the series, Booth/Brennan, does not have a popular portmanteau couple name ("Semperance" and "Teeley" are rarely used) -- though their initials, BB, are often used in fanfic summaries and have pretty much become the equivalent of a name. |
| 30 | * ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': |
| 31 | ** The Franchise/{{Buffyverse}} is full of these: Bangel (Buffy/Angel), Cangel (Cordelia/Angel), Fangel (Faith/Angel), Spred (Spike/Fred), Weslah (Wesley/Lilah), Fresley (Fred/Wesley), Coyle (Cordelia/Doyle), Faithsley (Faith/Wesley), Fangelus (Faith/Angelus), Xanya (Xander/Anya), Wesllyria (Wesley/Illyria), Spaith (Spike/Faith), Spanya (Spike/Anya), Willoz (Willow/Oz) and the list goes on and on and on... |
| 32 | ** On the fem slash side, there's Wiffy (Buffy/Willow), Fawn (Faith/Dawn), Tuffy (Buffy/Tara)... One fanfic writer has commented that "Wiffy" sounds more like [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Pepe Le Pew]]/[[Literature/{{Discworld}} Foul Ole Ron]], and some fans also refer to the Buffy/Willow pairing as Billow. |
| 33 | ** Lots of pairing featuring [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Spike]]: Spike/Buffy became "Spuffy", "Spangel" is Spike/Angel, while "Spander" refers to Spike/Xander and "Spillow" to Spike/Willow. "Spawn", meanwhile, is Spike/Dawn. "Spiles" is used for the handful Spike/Giles fanfics. "Harmonike" or "Sparmony" for Harmony/Spike. Spike/Anya has also been known as [[PunnyName Spankya]]. |
| 34 | ** Not to mention the ''best'' one for Buffy, which is regularly used with a straight face. It's generally an unsentimental ship, no hugs and puppies for anyone involved, canonically or in fic. And yet, its name? Fuffy for Buffy/Faith. It's also referred to as Buffaith, not a huge improvement, but still slightly better. |
| 35 | ** The canon Tara/Willow is called Willara or Tillow. There's also the canonical but much-maligned Kenlow (Willow/Kennedy) and Wuffara for '''W'''illow/B'''uff'''y/T'''ara'''. |
| 36 | ** In the ''Season 8'' comics, the pairing Buffy/Twilight has occasionally been referred to as [[ShipToShipCombat Blight]]. |
| 37 | * ''Series/CallTheMidwife'' fandom has christened Sister Bernadette/Dr Turner as "Turnadette". (Yes, they are pairing a doctor with a ''nun''. No, they don't particularly care. Fortunately, it's canon.) Amusingly, the pairing is ''still'' called "Turnadette" nearly a decade after Sister Bernadette reverted to her pre-convent name of Shelagh and the characters tied the knot -- and the fandom shows no apparent interest in changing this. |
| 38 | * ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'' fandom coined "Caskett" (Castle/Beckett), which is a remarkably clever name for a murder-solving duo. Castle even used it on the show when she asked Beckett if they were like "Brangelina". |
| 39 | ** As of the release of the {{defictionalization}} of Rick Castle's novel ''Heat Wave'', the SlashFic pairing of detectives Kevin Ryan and Javier Esposito is sometimes referred to as "Roach", after the nickname given their [[WriteWhoYouKnow fictional counterparts]] "Raley" and "Ochoa". [[RuleThirtyFour And yes]], there are [[PostModernism Roach fanfics about Roach fanfics]]. Appropriate for a series which has basically thrown its GenreBlindness out the window. |
| 40 | ** There's also the canon name Esplainie for Esposito and Lanie. |
| 41 | * ''Series/ChicagoFire'' has Dawsey (Dawson/Casey) and Stellaride (Stella Kidd and Kelly Severide). |
| 42 | ** ''Series/ChicagoPD'' has Linstead (Erin Lindsay/Jay Halstead), Burzek (Kim Burgess/Adam Ruzek), Upzek (Adam Ruzek/Hailey Upton), and Upstead (Upton/Halstead). |
| 43 | ** ''Series/ChicagoMed'' has Mantead (Will Halstead/Natalie Manning). |
| 44 | ** [[CrossoverShip Crossover shippers]] got Plouch due to PD's Trudy Platt and Fire's Mouch becoming HappilyMarried. |
| 45 | * ''Series/ChillingAdventuresOfSabrina'' has an odd example that mixes this with IdiosyncraticShipNaming. The very popular Zelda/Lilith ship is often referred to as "Madam Spellman". A mix of Zelda's last name Spellman and Lilith's self-proclaimed title of Madam Satan. There is also the less popular alternative of "Zelith". Other popular Portmanteau Couple Names include "Nabrina" (Sabrina/Nick), "Habrina" (Sabrina/Harvey), "Spellwood" (Zelda/Faustus Blackwood), "Zarie" (Zelda/Marie [=LaFleur=]), and "Morningspell" ([[IncestYayShipping Sabrina/Lucifer Morningstar]]). |
| 46 | * ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' includes "Jeffster" for Jeff/Lester right in the show as the name of their band. Also, fans popularly refer to Chuck/Sarah as "Charah" in the fandom, which was used in-universe by Casey in the episode "Chuck Versus The Masquerade": |
| 47 | --> '''Casey''' (to Morgan): Yeah? Look who's talking, you live in Charah's appartment. |
| 48 | * Most ''Series/{{Chucky}}'' fans refer to [[OfficialCouple Jake and Devon]] as "Jevon." |
| 49 | * ''Series/CobraKai'': The love square of season 2 can divided into ships of Samiguel (Samanatha [=LaRusso=] and Miguel Diaz), Toriguel (Tory Nichols and Miguel Diaz), and "Rory" (Robby Keene and Tory Nichols). Amongst slash ships, there's [=LawRusso=] (Johnny and Daniel) and [=Carmanda=] (Carmen and Amanda). |
| 50 | * ''Series/{{Community}}'' has one lone Portmanteau Couple Name that is used in fandom and shipping: Trobed, stemming from the canon referral to [[HoYay Troy and Abed's]] new apartment as La Casa Chez Trobed. |
| 51 | * It took a while for ''Series/CoronationStreet'' viewers to work out how best to combine Sophie and Sian; Siophie seems to be winning out. |
| 52 | * In an episode of ''Series/CougarTown'', Jules and Grayson reject Jayson, in favor of the more off-putting Grules. |
| 53 | * ''Series/CriminalMinds'': Most of the ship names can be found by smashing last names together; i.e. Morcia (Morgan/Garcia), Hotchniss (Hotchner/Prentiss), and Simmvez (Matthew Simmons/Alvez) in addition to others. There are a few exceptions as well such as Jeid (JJ/Reid), Jemily (JJ/Emily), and Katt (Kristy/Matthew). |
| 54 | * ''Series/CSIVerse'': Grillows (Grissom/Willows), Sandles (Greg/Sara), Snickers (Sara/Nick) [=DuCaine=] (Horatio/Calleigh), Wedges ([[TheLabRat Lab Rats]] Wendy and Hodges),, among others. The OfficialCouple ships [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming aren't in this form]], save Flangell (Flack/Angell). (though Dantana is close-Danny/'Montana' (Lindsay's nickname).) |
| 55 | ** It would take pages to list all the portmanteaus from all 3 shows, but if you go to the series' main forum, Talk CSI, you can access a fairly comprehensive list in the Shipper Central forum. |
| 56 | ** CSI also has an inversion of sorts of this with a non-shipping portmanteau: During seasons 10 and 11, fans started referring to the Nate Haskell and Ray Langston interactions as "Raskell". |
| 57 | * The 2022 TV adaptation of ''ComicBook/{{Darna}}'' led to a boom of shippers between the Narda, aka Darna, and Regina, aka Valentina, characters. These shippers dubbed them "Darlentina" or, the often less used, "Reginarda". |
| 58 | * For ''Series/DaughterFromAnotherMother'', Ana and Mariana's name were conveniently joined replacing the "i" letter in Mariana's name to "y" which stands for "and" in Spanish to form the Maryana. Both actresses playing them have thoroughly used it on their social media promoting the series and the ship. |
| 59 | * In ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'', the canon couple of Paige and Alex became Palex, and was actually referred to as such by one of the characters in the show. There's also Crash (Craig/Ashley) and Cranny (Craig/Manny). Pia and Miater were both suggested in series for Peter/Mia. |
| 60 | ** Anyone paired with Ellie tends to come out kind of strange - Mellie (Marco/Ellie) Pellie (Paige/Ellie), Jellie (Jesse/Ellie) and Crellie (Craig/Ellie). Also, there's Darco (Dylan/Marco) Crarco (Craig/Marco) Sparco (Spinner/Marco) and Tarco, occasionally reffered to as Mim (Tim/Marco). And Piley (Peter/Riley). |
| 61 | ** Clare seems to get interesting pairing names. Eclare (Eli/Clare), Flare or Clitz (Fitz/Clare), Klare (KC/Clare), [=DeClare=] (Clare/Declan), and the newest, Cake (Jake/Clare) |
| 62 | ** Holly J's pairing names come off odd due to the initial she carries, but she's had Spolly J (Spinner), Blue J (Blue), Spolly Jane (Spinner and Jane), Spolly Jay (Spinner and Jay), Dolly J (Declan), Sally J (Sav) or Savvy J (also Sav), and Folly J/[[IdiosyncraticShipNaming Lesbiona J]] (Fiona). |
| 63 | ** By the end of season 14, the grade 10s are in such a LoveDodecahedron that there are a bunch of ship names including: Camaya (Cam/Maya), Zaya (Maya/Zig), Matlinsworth (Maya/Miles), Zori (Zig/Tori), Zoemund (Zig/Zoe), Gracevas (Zoe/Grace), Ziles (Miles/Zoe), Triles (Tristan/Miles). |
| 64 | ** Season 11 & 12 introduces the friendship that slowly but surely blossoms into a full blown romantic relationship between the eccentric Imogen Moreno and former party girl Fiona Coyne, who are affectionately called "Fimogen" by their supporters. |
| 65 | * ''Series/DesperateHousewives'' has an abundance of these - Brynette (Bree van de Kamp / Lynette Scavo), Kathree (Katherine Mayfair / Bree Hodge), Sudie (Susan Mayer / Edie Britt), Brorson (Bree and Orson Hodge), Brarl (Bree / Karl Mayer), Tynette (Tom and Lynette Scavo), etc. |
| 66 | * ''Series/TheDevilJudge'' has "Gahan" for Ga-on/Yo-han. |
| 67 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 68 | ** Rose pairing names tend to sound hilarious: "Onose" (First Doctor/Rose), "Drose" (Doctor/Rose), "Nose" (Ninth Doctor/Rose), and "Tose" (Tenth Doctor/Rose, pronounced like "toes", although "Tenrose" has become more popular). Possibly Rickey (Rose/Mickey) as well, though it shares a name with Mickey's ([[BuryYourGays dead]]) alternate universe counterpart from Pete's World. |
| 69 | ** The Doctor/TARDIS pairing is unfortunately sometimes known as "Doctard". |
| 70 | ** The Classic series also has "Nysric" (Nyssa/Adric). |
| 71 | ** The Second Doctor would sometimes refer to companions Jamie and Zoe collectively as "Joey" -- a rare case of the portmanteau coming from within the show. |
| 72 | ** Classic and new series has "Dromana" (Doctor/Romana). |
| 73 | ** "Whoufflé" for Doctor/Clara, playing off the series name and Clara's love for soufflés. This term is most often used for pairing the Eleventh Doctor and Clara; for pairing the Twelfth Doctor and Clara, the term "Whouffaldi" is more often used (a combination of Who, souffle, and Capaldi). |
| 74 | *** Due to many fans shipping the actors Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman (due to their intense real-life chemistry and friendship), two other names have arisen: Colepaldi by those who ship the two romantically, and Colepals by those who recognize (more accurately) the platonic friendship between them. |
| 75 | ** Some fans have adopted "Twissy" for the Twelfth Doctor and Missy. For Theta/Koschei (Doctor/Master when they were at school) they have Thoschei. It's sometimes also applied to the Doctor/Master ship in general. |
| 76 | ** The Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan are referred to as "Thasmin" by some fans. |
| 77 | * ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'' has Clopher for Claire/Topher, Tennett for Topher/Bennett, Pecho for Paul/Echo, Baunders for Boyd/Saunders and the bizarre-sounding Pellie for Paul/Mellie. |
| 78 | * Fans of ''Series/EastEnders'' quickly coined Chryed -- Christian and Syed. Due to the couple's popularity, the BBC website and even the actors have dropped the pairing name in interviews. |
| 79 | * ''Series/EatBulaga'' has "[=AlDub=]", referring to the pairing of Alden Richards and internet personality Maine Mendoza, who was then known as her character "Yaya Dub". |
| 80 | * ''Series/ElCorazonNuncaSeEquivoca'' has Aristemo (Ari/Temo) which has been used in-universe by several characters. Other portmanteaus are Matiego (Mateo/Diego), Matemo (Mateo/Temo), Aristhiago (Ari/Thiago), and Bora (B/Nora). |
| 81 | * ''Series/{{Elementary}}'' has a few of these. The main two are Joanlock (Joan/Sherlock) and Joaniarty (Joan/Moriarty). |
| 82 | * ''Series/FakingIt'' has "Karmy" (Karma/Amy) for the main couple; the minority that ship Liam and Karma seem to have settled on Kiam. Season 2 also spawned "Reamy" for Reagan/Amy. |
| 83 | * ''Series/Fallout2024'': Those who ship the Lucy with the Ghoul have taken to calling them "Ghoulcy". |
| 84 | * ''Series/FearTheWalkingDead'' has "Lexark" which is a combination of the last names of Alicia Clark and Elyza Lex. A strange one as the Eyza is actually a fan-made character, but the pairing managed to become popular enough to get one of these. |
| 85 | * ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' has several of these: "Silee" or "Saylee" (the Simon/Kaylee OfficialCouple), as well as "Jaylee" (Jayne/Kaylee), "Rayne" (the odd and verging on FoeYayShipping Jayne/River), "Zayne" (Zoe/Jayne), "Jaynara" (Jayne/Inara), "Kaynara" (Kaylee/Iara). "Maliver" (Mal/River),"Tamcest" (Simon/River), and Malnara (Mal/Inara). |
| 86 | * ''Series/FirstKill'': |
| 87 | ** [[OfficialCouple Calliope/Juliette]] is referred to as "Calliette" by shippers. |
| 88 | ** Those who ship [[FoeYayShipping Margot and Talia]] together often call them "Marlia". |
| 89 | * Jules and Sam from ''Series/{{Flashpoint}}'' are known as "Jam". |
| 90 | * Used in-universe in ''Series/FridayNightLights'' when Smash's first-season love interest Waverly briefly dubs their relationship "the Waverlash". Otherwise, the show seems immune to name-smooshing. |
| 91 | * Fans of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' have called Monica and Chandler "Mondler," a name actually used by Ross in one episode. "Chanoey" (also a term from the show, though used by Phoebe as a suggestion for a way to name a baby after both of them) has also been used for Chandler/Joey. |
| 92 | * ''Series/GameOfThrones'' has several: |
| 93 | ** For Jon and/or Sansa pairings: Jonsa (Jon/Sansa), Jonerys (Jon/Daenerys), Jygritte (Jon/Ygritte), Sansaery (Sansa/Margarey), Sanrion (Sansa/Tyrion), Theonsa (Sansa/Theon) |
| 94 | ** For other pairings: Robbaery (Robb/Margaery), Robbcella (Robb/Myrcella), Nedsei (Ned/Cersei), Gendrya (Gendry/Arya), Braime (Jaime/Brienne), Briemund (Tormund/Brienne), Rickeen (Rickon/Shireen), Drogerys (Drogo/Daenerys), Stannisandre (Stannis/Meilsandre), Greysandei (Grey Worm/Missandei), Dornerys (Doreah/Daenerys) |
| 95 | * ''Series/{{Glee}}'' has ''tons'' of these, with some even being used in-universe by the characters. |
| 96 | ** For canon pairings: "Wemma" for Will/Emma, "Quick" for Quinn/Puck, "Finchel" for Finn/Rachel, "Klaine" for Kurt/Blaine, "Raine" for Blaine/Rachel, "Brittana" for Brittany/Santana, "Samcedes" for Sam/Mercedes, "Artina" or "Tartie" for Artie/Tina, "Tike" for Tina/Mike, "Bartie" or "Artittany" for Artie/Brittany, "Santofsky" for Santana/Karofsky, "Fabrevans" for Quinn/Sam. |
| 97 | ** For fanon pairings: "Faberry" for Quinn/Rachel (this one is actually based on their last names, Fabray and Berry), "Puckleberry" for Puck/Rachel, "Kurtofsky" for Kurt/Karofsky, "Kum" for Kurt/Sam, "Partie" for Puck/Artie, "Puckurt" or "Purt" for Kurt/Puck, "Seblaine" for Sebastian/Blaine, "Sebofsky" for Sebastian/Karofsky, "Blam" for Blaine/Sam, "Blatina" or "Blina" for Blaine/Tina... and that's not even half of all of them. |
| 98 | ** For platonic relationships: "Furt" for Finn & Kurt, "Hummelberry" for Kurt & Rachel, "Anderberry" for Blaine & Rachel, "Bike Chanderson" for Blaine & Mike. |
| 99 | ** For threesomes: "Puckleberry Finn" for Puck/Rachel/Finn, "[[Music/KurtCobain Kurt Co]][[{{Pun}} Blaine]]" for Kurt/Blaine/Cooper, "Klainchel" for Kurt/Blaine/Rachel, "Sebklaine" for Sebastian/Kurt/Blaine, "Faberrittana" for the [=OT4=] of Quinn/Rachel/Brittany/Santana |
| 100 | ** For the just plain funny/[[CrackPairing crack]] examples: "Bike" for Mike/Brittany, "Cherry" for Mike/Rachel, "Fabang" for Mike/Quinn... and guess what portmanteau Puck/Finn and Sam/Puck get. |
| 101 | ** As of Season 4, we get Jarley for Jake/Marley, Ryley for Ryder/Marley, Jitty for Jake/Kitty, and Karley for Kitty/Marley. There's also Jayder for Jake/Ryder, Rinn for Ryder/Finn, Bram for Sam/Brittany and Brochel for Brody/Rachel. |
| 102 | * In ''Series/GossipGirl'', these names aren't always used but can still be found sometimes. With the main pairings there's Darena (Serena/Dan) and Chair (Chuck/Blair). Less common pairings are Waldsen (Serena Van Der ''Woodsen''/Blair ''Waldorf''), Dair (Dan/Blair), and Nair/Blate (Nate/Blair). Also, not seen that often (probably due to the ridiculousness of it) but occasionally, the name Duck (Dan/Chuck) pops up. |
| 103 | * A few ships in ''Series/{{Gotham}}'' that involve Oswald Cobblepot end up with one of these: Gobblepot (Jim Gordon), Zazzlepot (Victor Zsasz), Freezewald (Victor Fries aka Mr. Freeze) and Nygmobblepot (Edward Nygma and was actually coined by Nygma's actor). |
| 104 | * ''Series/{{Greek}}'': The forum wars are between Caspie (Casey/Cappie) and Cabecca (Cappie/Rebecca). While the FanPreferredCouple is Caspie, the current OfficialCouple is Cabecca. Not pretty. |
| 105 | * ''Series/GreenWing'''s Caroline/Mac pairing is Caromac. |
| 106 | * ''Series/GreysAnatomy'' fandom had the short lived Addison/Alex portmanteau Addisex. The canon relationship of Callie and Erica became known as Callica in fandom. Additionally: [=MerDer=] for Meredith and Derek, Meddison or [=MerAdd=] for Meredith and Addison, Calzona for Callie and Arizona and Crowen for Cristina and Owen. |
| 107 | * The ''{{Series/Grimm}}'' publicity folks have been using "Monrosalee" and "Monromance" when talking about Monroe and Rosalie. |
| 108 | * ''Series/{{Hacks}}'': The most popular ship in the fandom is Ava/Deborah, who a lot of fans have taken to calling "Avorah". |
| 109 | * ''Series/HannahMontana'': [[LesYay Liley (Miley Stewart/Lilly Truscott)]], Loliver (Lilly Truscott/ Oliver Oken), Moliver (Oliver Oken/Miley Stewart), and [[FoeYayShipping Mikiley (Mikayla/Miley Stewart)]]. |
| 110 | * ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'' has Hannigram (Hannibal/Will Graham), Hannibloom (Hannibal/Alana), [=ChillyWilly=] or Wilton (Chilton/Will Graham) and Margolana or just Marlana (Margot/Alana). |
| 111 | * In the ''Series/HawaiiFive0'' fandom, [=McDanno=] ([=Steve McGarrett=]/Danno Williams) is the most popular pairing. It also has Kodam (Kono Kalakaua[=/=]Adam Noshimuri) as well as Chibby (Chin Ho Kelly[=/=]Abby Dunn). |
| 112 | * The ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' fandom is ''swarming'' with portmanteau ship names. The [[http://heroeswiki.com/Category:Relationships local wiki]] has a whole category devoted to character relationships, romantic and otherwise, and the only one that doesn't have some kind of portmanteau for a title (including Matt Parkman and his turtle, or "Murtle") is the highly amusing "Peter vs. Sylar" page. |
| 113 | ** Just how ridiculous are ''Heroes'' shippers about this portmanteau thing? Plenty: the difference between "Claithan" (Claire/Nathan) and "Claitian" (Claire/Haitian) is a serious one. And then there's Peter Petrelli, the LauncherOfAThousandShips of ''Heroes'' fandom: "Petlar" or "Pylar" (Peter/Sylar), "Paire" (Peter/Claire), "Moheter" (Peter/Mohinder), "Padam" (Peter/Adam), "Petelle" or "Pelle" (Peter/Elle), "Plaude" (Peter/Claude), and "Piro" (Peter/Hiro). Funnily enough, there isn't a smushed pairing name for Peter/Nathan ''other'' than "Petrellicest" (and really, the way this show is, that could describe any of four people). Also Kiro (Kensei/Hiro), Hando (Hiro/Ando), Eclaire (Elle/Claire), and Mocah for the ToyShip Molly/Micah. Oh, and Madam (Mohinder/Adam) was hanging around for a while, despite the two never having met. That's not even one-fourth of all the portmanteau couple names in this fandom, mind you. |
| 114 | ** Matt/Mohinder doesn't have its own portmanteau name, because the pairing comes as a package of three with their Series/MyTwoDads-style daughter, Molly. Thus they are M3, MMM or House of M. |
| 115 | ** It's interesting to note that Zachary Quinto actually coined the term "Sylinder" (Sylar/Mohinder) himself when an red carpet interviewer asked him about his friendly relationship with Creator/SendhilRamamurthy and he joked that he'd like to do a spinoff sitcom with him with that name. Apparently he's quite aware of the ship, having talked about it frankly and amusedly at interviews and bringing it up randomly at a certain Comicon (to the screaming fangirls' delight, apparently). |
| 116 | * ''Series/HighSchoolMusicalTheMusicalTheSeries'' has plenty. |
| 117 | ** For canon (or near-canon) pairings: Ricky and Nini is "Rini"; Ricky and Gina is "Rina"; Ricky and Lily is "Rily"; E.J. and Gina are "Portwell" (after their last names Caswell and Porter, though sometimes "G.J." is used); Carlos and Seb are "Seblos"; Big Red and Ashlyn are "Redlyn"; Miss Jenn and Mr. Mazarra are "Jennzarra". |
| 118 | ** For fan pairings: Ricky and E.J. are either "R.J." or "Caswen" (from their last names Bowen and Caswell"; Ricky and Big Red are "Redky"; Nini and Gina are "Gini". |
| 119 | * ''Series/HolbyCity'' christened the LesYay pairing of Berenice "Bernie" Wolfe and Serena Campbell "Berena". [[spoiler:When the two finally kissed -- properly and for keeps, with confirmation from the creators that they had been destined to fall in love all along --]] it trended worldwide on Twitter. |
| 120 | * ''Series/{{House}}'': Chameron (Chase/Cameron), Hameron (House/Cameron), Huddy (House/Cuddy), Chouse (Chase/House), and Wilhouse/Wouse/Hilson (House/Wilson). |
| 121 | ** "Foreteen" (Foreman/Thirteen) was actually used ''in'' the show; House calls them that in the Season 5 episode "Unfaithful". The Spanish subtitlers for Latin America obviously don't know about ship names, because they translated this one as "Catorce" ("Fourteen"). Luckily, the name still ''kinda'' works in the sense of "Thirteen plus one". |
| 122 | * ''Series/HouseOfAnubis'' has Nina and Fabian paired up as "Fabina". It has even been used on the show. |
| 123 | ** That's not the end of it. There's also... Jabian (Joy/Fabian, another one that has appeared on the show), Peddie (Patricia/Eddie), Jara (Jerome/Mara), Amfie (Amber/Alfie, also appearing on the show), Mickra (Mick and Mara), and that's just scratching the surface. Really, any possible pairing on this show will have one of these names. There have even been arguments over which name is the 'official' one to use. |
| 124 | * ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': |
| 125 | ** "Daemyra" for Daemon/Rhaenyra Targaryen. |
| 126 | ** "Rhaenicent" for Rhaenyra Targaryen/Alicent Hightower. |
| 127 | ** "Helaemond" for Helaena/Aemond Targaryen. |
| 128 | ** "Rhaegon" for Rhaenyra/Aegon II Targaryen. |
| 129 | ** "Lucemond" for Lucerys Velaryon/Aemond Targaryen. |
| 130 | ** "Jacegon" for Jacaerys Velaryon/Aegon II. |
| 131 | ** "Lucegon" for Lucerys/Aegon II. |
| 132 | * The ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' fandom has the "[=BROtp=]" for [[FanPreferredCouple Barney/Robin]], a combination of their names and the term [[OneTruePairing OTP]]. Another version is "Swarkles" (SWARLEY + robin SPARKLES = SWARKLES). |
| 133 | * The ''Series/ICarly'' fandom uses this extensively: |
| 134 | ** "Cam" (Carly/Sam), "Carper" (Carly/Harper), "Creddie" (Carly/Freddie), "Seddie" (Sam/Freddie), [[CargoShip "Sham"]] (Sam/Ham), "Spam" (Spencer/Sam), "Fencer" (Freddie/Spencer, and is also a reference to an episode), "Crediam" or "Seddily" (Sam/Freddie/Carly OT3). |
| 135 | ** In-universe, Spencer insults two truckers named Sledgehammer and Porkchop over a CB Radio by asking if they would be named "Sledgechop" or "Porkhammer" in the event of a marriage. Also, Creddie vs. Seddie is used directly in the episode ''iStart A Fan War'', which features in-story [=iCarly=] fans warring over their favorite ships at a con (along with an infamous ShipTease). |
| 136 | ** A WhatCouldHaveBeen for the show was that the Carly character was originally going to be named Sam & the sidekick character Kira. They had to change it since they weren't able to secure the iSam.com website address. With Freddie keeping his name, it would meant that the ship names would have been reversed, with Seddie & Kreddie instead of Creddie & Seddie, and even the main LesYay ship (Carly & Sam) likely being Kam. |
| 137 | * ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': |
| 138 | ** Louis/Lestat is Loustat (or Louistat). |
| 139 | ** Louis/Armand is Loumand. |
| 140 | ** Daniel/Louis is Danlou. |
| 141 | ** Armand/Daniel is Armandaniel. |
| 142 | ** Louis/Armand/Daniel is Loumandaniel. |
| 143 | ** Lestat/Armand is Lesmand. |
| 144 | ** Louis/Armand/Lestat is Loumandstat. |
| 145 | ** Nicolas/Lestat is Nickistat. |
| 146 | ** Claudia/Madeleine is Claudeleine. |
| 147 | * Viewers of the Indian soap opera ''Series/IssPyaarKoKyaNaamDoon'' gave the main couple, Arnav/Khushi, the portmanteau name of "Arshi". |
| 148 | * ''Series/JeevesAndWooster'' had "Jooster" for the titular duo that was originally coined by Creator/StephenFry himself, though in a completely non-shipping-related context (talking about how he felt that he had attributes of both Bertie Wooster and Jeeves). |
| 149 | * In an episode of ''Series/Jericho2006'', Stanley and Mimi actually have a discussion over what their couple name should be. Mimi is rather appalled that Stanley's comparing them to Brangelina. It is Stanley who dubs the name for them "Stimi". |
| 150 | * ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'' has Teriyaki ([[OfficialCouple Terui/Akiko]]), Shotako ([[BelligerentSexualTension Shotaro/Akiko]]) and Makki or Makiko ([[CrackPairing Makura/Akiko]]). |
| 151 | * Tina/Bette on ''Series/TheLWord'' became "[=TiBette=]". Completely inexplicably, given that Bettina is a real name. |
| 152 | ** There's all the hate-names they also have: Lame for Lane (Lilly/Cane), Chain for Chane (Chloe/Cane), Barf for Bianca/Zarf, Zendull for Zendall (Zach/Kedall) and Stinks or Reeks for Rinks (Reese/Binks). |
| 153 | * In ''Series/TheLastLeg'', there's Jalex (Josh/Alex). Originally a fan nickname, it has since been used by the show's official [[https://twitter.com/TheLastLeg/status/571440075696939008 Twitter]] [[https://twitter.com/TheLastLeg/status/571443365830651904 feed]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zob4MpeIoQA mentioned by Adam]]. |
| 154 | * The ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' fandom is split almost perfectly in half: on one side, the Bensler ([[ActionGirl Oliva Benson]] and [[SociopathicHero Elliot Stabler]]) shippers; on the other, the Cabensons ([[HelloAttorney Alex Cabot]] and [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Olivia Benson again]]). Neither term is widely used. |
| 155 | ** After Stabler left, the portmanteaus became the preferred way of identifying ships. In addition to the two above, there is Calex (Casey Novak/Alex Cabot), Barson (Rafael Barba/Olivia Benson), Bensidy (Olivia Benson/Brian Cassidy), Rollaro (Nick Amaro/Amanda Rollins), Rolivia (Amanda Rollins/Olivia Benson), Bensaro (Olivia Benson/Nick Amaro), Barmaro (Rafael Barba/Nick Amaro), Barisi (Rafael Barba/Sonny Carisi), Rollisi (Amanda Rollins/Sonny Carisi), Tuckson (Olivia Benson/Ed Tucker), Barollins (Rafael Barba/Amanda Rollins), and countless others. |
| 156 | * Ship names in ''Series/LazyTown'' fandom are more like those in anime fandoms than other western fandoms, usually containing a full syllable or two of each name. Examples include [=SportaSteph=] for Sportacus/Stephanie, and [=SportaRobbie=] for Sportacus/Robbie. Everybody except Stephanie and Sportacus has a two syllable name, so for most characters one uses their full name, making the name of a ship that doesn't involve one of the two heroes arguably not a portmanteau at all. |
| 157 | * ''Series/ALeagueOfTheirOwn2022'': The canon pairing of Greta and Carson are collectively referred to as "Gretson" by the fandom. |
| 158 | * ''Series/{{Lewis}}'' has Robson for Robbie Lewis/Laura Hobson. |
| 159 | * About 90% of the ''Series/LifeWithDerek'' fandom ships {{UST}}-tastic [[FlirtyStepsiblings step-siblings]] Derek and Casey, referring to the ship as "Dasey". Other popular pairing names include "Lizwin" (Lizzie/Edwin), "Shemily" (Sheldon/Emily), "Demily" (Derek/Emily), "Dally" (Derek/Sally), "Trasey" (Truman/Casey), "Masey" (Max/Casey), "Sasey" (Sam/Casey), and "Salph" (Sam/Ralph). |
| 160 | * When ''Series/LineOfDuty''[='=]s sixth season paired up new character Jo Davidson with long-term cast member Kate Fleming, fans quickly gave them the ship name "Flemson". |
| 161 | * ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'': Haladriel or Sauradriel for Galadriel and Halbrand/Sauron. |
| 162 | * ''Series/{{Lost}}'': |
| 163 | ** The love quadrangle among Jack, Sawyer, Kate, and Juliet had a portmanteau name for every single possible duo (except for Kate/Juliet): Jate (Jack/Kate), Skate (Sawyer/Kate), Suliet (Sawyer/Juliet), Jacket (Jack/Juliet), and Jawyer (Jack/Sawyer). |
| 164 | ** Fans even have a platonic portmanteau name for the two show runners, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse: Darlton. The pair are aware of and amused by this, even making fun of it after the show on ''Series/JimmyKimmelLive'' when they were in bed together. |
| 165 | ** The best ''Lost'' Portmanteau Couple Name has got to be "Charladay" for Charlotte Lewis and Daniel Faraday. |
| 166 | ** After Dr. Linus, some fans started "Belana" (Ben + Ilana). Ben also got "Blocke" for his pairing with Locke. |
| 167 | ** While Charlie and Claire are often referred to as PB&J (which can either stand for Pregnant Babe and Junkie or for Peanut Butter and Jelly, due to them growing closer over [[ItMakesSenseInContext invisible peanut butter]]), they're sometimes called, albeit less popularly, CC or Chaire. |
| 168 | ** Other ships include: Jun (Jin/Sun), Despenny (Desmond/Penelope), Shayid (Sayid/Shannon), Karlex (Karl/Alex), Shoone (Shannon/Boone), Hubby (Hurley/Libby), Roseard (Rose/Bernard), Benliet (Ben/Juliet), Sana (Sawyer/Ana Lucia)... the list could go forever... |
| 169 | * ''Series/Lucifer2016'': Chloe/Lucifer is referred to as Deckerstar or Chlucifer, with one of the S3 episodes titled “Quintessential Deckerstar”. |
| 170 | * ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' fans use 'Wilkercest'. Even though it's often used in general terms, due to the popularity of the pairing, it can also mean Malcolm/Reese specifically. Interesting in that the altered surname, Wilkerson, isn't even necessarily canon (used in the first episode, then arguably {{RetCon}}ned). |
| 171 | * Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse: |
| 172 | ** ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': |
| 173 | *** Even before they became an OfficialCouple, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons were [[TheDividual so inseparable]] that other characters referred to them as the singular entity "Fitzsimmons" from the very first episode onward, so naturally it made a perfect couple name for those who ship the two. After they get married, Simmons suggests they should hyphenate their last names. Fitz jokes that he is against the idea because "Simmons-Fitz" doesn't roll off the tongue very well. |
| 174 | *** Another in-universe one: When Quake becomes one of the public faces of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Koenig mentions that there's fanfic of her. The most popular pairing is apparently "Quack," which is her/Black Widow. [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Note that Quake and Black Widow have never met]]. |
| 175 | *** Among fans there is also Skyeward (Skye/Grant Ward), Skimmons (Skye/Jemma Simmons), Simmorse/Mockingnerd (Jemma Simmons/Bobbi Morse), Huntingbird (Lance Hunter/Bobbi Morse), Phillinda (Phil Coulson/Melinda May), Fitzmack (Leo Fitz/Mack), Tripsimmons/Trimmons (Antione Tripplet/Jemma Simmons), and Skoulson (Phil Coulson/Skye). |
| 176 | ** ''Series/Daredevil2015'': Among fans there are such pairs as Karedevil (Karen Page/Matt Murdock), Clairedevil (Claire Temple/Matt Murdock), and Kastle (Karen Page/Frank Castle). |
| 177 | ** ''Series/JessicaJones2015'': Trishica (Trish Walker/Jessica Jones). |
| 178 | ** ''Series/IronFist2017'': Ironwing (Danny Rand/Colleen Wing). |
| 179 | ** ''Series/Runaways2017'': Deanoru or Nicolina for Karolina Dean/Nico Minoru. |
| 180 | ** ''Series/WandaVision'': The show title itself counts as one given it's mashing Wanda's and Vision's names together, although "[=ScarletVision=]" is a more common name for shippers to use in the fandom. |
| 181 | ** ''Series/Loki2021'' has Lokius (Loki/Mobius), [[AlternateSelfShipping Sylki]] (Sylvie/Loki), and [[OneTrueThreesome Sylkius]] (Sylvie/Loki/Mobius). |
| 182 | * ''Series/{{MASH}}'' had [=PierceIntyre=] -- used canonically by Henry (though their clueless Colonel probably wasn't aware of the [[HoYay implications]]). |
| 183 | ** Also Hawpper for the same pairing, B-eye for B.J./Hawkeye, and Hawkney for Sidney/Hawkeye. |
| 184 | ** BJ alone has the canon Punnicutt (BJ/his wife Peg), Hunnihawk (BJ/Hawkeye) and [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Punnihawk]] ([[OneTrueThreesome]] Hawkeye/BJ/Peg). |
| 185 | ** In the early mash-slash days of the fandom, there was Chaxie, for Charles/Klinger (who's called Maxie by his ex-wife Laverne). Charles also has Donnarles, for Charles/Donna (the Red Cross nurse whom he marries in the episode "Mr. and Mrs. Who?"). |
| 186 | ** Margaret has Houlihawk ([[BelligerentSexualTension Margaret/Hawkeye]]) and Houlihanderson (Margaret/her friend Lorraine Anderson). Margaret/Hawkeye is also called Hawgret sometimes. |
| 187 | * ''Series/TheMentalist'' gave us the unintentionally hilarious (but widely used) Jisbon (Jane/Lisbon), a.k.a. Jello. Also, Rigspelt for Van Pelt/Rigsby and Chelise for Cho/Elise. |
| 188 | * ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'': |
| 189 | ** The most popular ship is Merthur, or Merlin/Arthur. Arlin is also used, but much more rarely. |
| 190 | ** [=ArMor=], the ship name for ''Ar''thur/''Mor''gana is both this and an [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming Idiosyncratic Ship Name]], as it also refers to a particularly popular scene between the two in the second episode of the series. Some fans think it would be better for the Merlin/Arthur pairing due to its pronunciation (Ar''mer'' as opposed Ar''mor''), and for all the times that Merlin helps Arthur with his armour. |
| 191 | ** [=Arwen=] for Arthur/Gwen, which can be [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings misleading]] or just plain annoying for fans searching for their ship. |
| 192 | ** Other pairing names are Mergana (Merlin/Morgana), Morwen (Morgana/Gwen), Merwen (Merlin/Gwen), and Merdred (Merlin/Mordred). [[https://youtu.be/ZiW7y9uqSWE This video]] amusingly demonstrates what happens when the fans list off [[LauncherOfAThousandShips several ship names]] to the actors. |
| 193 | * ''Series/TheMightyBoosh'' shippers are fond of the slightly painful-sounding "Howince". Though not quite as painful as initial attempts at coming up with a portmanteau name, which included "Voward". |
| 194 | * ''Series/MissSherlock'' shippers have to taken to using Watolock for [[LesYay Wato/Sherlock]]. |
| 195 | * In-universe example on ''Series/ModernFamily'': Cam tries to establish one of these for him and his husband Mitch, only to realise that they're either "Ma'am" or "Kitch." |
| 196 | * ''Series/MotherlandFortSalem'': |
| 197 | ** Raelle and Scylla are often called "Raella" among fans. |
| 198 | ** Tally Craven and Sarah Alder are usually referred to as "Talder" by shippers. |
| 199 | * ''Series/MyCountryTheNewAge'' has Seonhwi for Seon-ho/Hwi. |
| 200 | * ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' brings you... [[HoYay Joike]] for Joel/Mike. Used as an in-universe gag, though not with that intent. |
| 201 | ** Also, [[HoYay Crom]], for those with an interest in RidiculouslyHumanRobots. This one has a little more weight to it-- the characters have spent more than five minutes together, and Crow has had a couple of... moments. |
| 202 | -->'''Crow:''' Uh, Mike? I would like to ask you for Servo's hand in marriage! |
| 203 | * ''Series/{{Nashville}}'' has "Javery" for FanPreferredCouple Juliette and Avery, while in-universe the decidedly ''not'' Fan-Preferred Couple Rayna and [[TheScrappy Luke]] are "Ruke." |
| 204 | * ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': |
| 205 | ** Tiva (Tony/Ziva) is the most commonly-used one. The USA channel even called their Tony and Ziva-centric ''NCIS'' marathon the "Tiva Marathon". |
| 206 | ** Other names are Tate (Tony/Gate), Gabby (Gate/Abby), Jibbs (Jenny/Gibbs), [=McAbby=] ([=McGee=]/Abby), Tibbs (Tony/Gibbs), and Leemer (Lee/Palmer). |
| 207 | ** Also, some have come across the extremely odd, yet hilariously named Palmer and Fornell ship, "Pornell". As you could probably guess, it doesn't have a very large fan base... |
| 208 | ** Some fans of the Jibbs pairing refer to hypothetical children of the pair as "Jibblets," a portmanteau of "Jibbs" and a term used once on the show for a child of Gibbs, "Gibblet." |
| 209 | ** Another in-show example after Tony notices sparks between Gibbs and CGIS Agent Abigail Borin: |
| 210 | --->'''Tony:''' What, nobody else [[ShipperOnDeck on Team Bibbs]]? |
| 211 | ** Creator/MichaelWeatherly has also mentioned [=McGony=] ([=McGee=]/Tony) in an interview. |
| 212 | ** In "Canary", an episode that had a fairly high amount of interaction between [=McGee=] and Abby, Abby at one point joyously declared, "From the ashes, [=McAbby=] will rise! |
| 213 | ** Season 15 introduced Slibbs, sparked by the UST between Gibbs and new main character Jacqueline "Jack" Sloane (Maria Bello). After all, "Jibbs" was already taken. |
| 214 | ** ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'' gets into the act with "Densi" (Deeks/Kensi). CBS not only officially adopted this as well as "Tiva", but sells "Densi" T-shirts! |
| 215 | ** ''Series/NCISNewOrleans'' has Percy and [=LaSalle=] with [=PerSalle=]. |
| 216 | ** ''Series/NCISHawaii'': Most fans refer to the canon Kate/Lucy pairing as "Kacy". |
| 217 | * ''Series/NecessaryRoughness'' had the in-universe example "She-K" for the ill-fated professional and personal relationship between Terrance "T.K." King and Sheera Kane. |
| 218 | * ''Series/{{Nevertheless}}'': The canon Seo Ji-wan/Yoon Sol ship is referred to as "[=SolJiwan=]" by fans. |
| 219 | * ''Series/TheNewNormal'': Brian + David = Bravid. |
| 220 | * ''Series/TheOfficeUS'' has Jim + Pam = Jam. Now we just need one for Andy Bernard and Erin... Ernard? [[SciFiNameBuzzwords Andrin]]? |
| 221 | ** There's also Dwangela (Dwight + Angela), although that ship seems to have been sufficiently [[ShipSinking sunk]]. |
| 222 | ** InUniverse, when Kevin thinks Pam and Jim are not seeing each other he complains that he won't get to call them "PB&J" (Pam Beesley & Jim). Possibly a FandomNod to the example above. |
| 223 | * ''Series/OnceUponATime'' combines this trope with IdiosyncraticShipNaming: Any pairing with Emma Swan has the word "Swan" in it: Swan Queen for Emma/Regina, Captain Swan for Emma/Hook, Swanfire for Emma/Neal, Mad Swan for Emma/Jefferson, Wooden Swan for Emma/August, Golden Swan for Emma/Rumpelstilskin, and Frozen Swan for Emma/[[spoiler: Elsa]]. And this is just for ''one'' character. |
| 224 | ** It's actually easier to list the ships that don't also fall under IdiosyncraticShipNaming: Rumbelle for Rumpelstiltskin/Belle, Snowing for Snow White/Prince Charming, Gremma for Graham/Emma, Tinkerhook for Tinkerbell/Hook, Hookriel for Hook/Ariel, Tinkerfire or Tinkfire for Tinkerbell/Baelfire, Darlingfire or Wenfire for Wendy Darling/Baelfire, and Millian for Milah/Killian. |
| 225 | * ''Series/OneTreeHill'' has such gems as Naley (Nathan/Haley), Pucas (Peyton/Lucas haters), Leyton (Peyton/Lucas), and Brucas (Brooke/Lucas). |
| 226 | ** Let's not forget the LesYay shippers with Breyton (Brooke/Peyton), Brachel (Brooke/Rachel), Paley (Peyton/Haley), and Peytanna (Peyton/Anna). Just to name a few. |
| 227 | * ''Series/OurFlagMeansDeath'': One of the biggest ship names for Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet used on sites like Tumblr and Twitter is "[=BlackBonnet=]". Other contenders include Gentlebeard and Blackstede. |
| 228 | * ''Series/OuterBanks'': Most JJ/Kiara shippers call them "Jiara". |
| 229 | * In-universe example from ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'': Shortly after Tom Haverford and Ann Perkins begin dating, Tom announces the official debut of their couple name -- "Tan". She instantly announces the official end of the couple name, and he bounces back with "Haverkins". |
| 230 | * Shaw/Root of ''Series/PersonOfInterest'' becomes Shoot. Given that both are very good with guns, it's pretty apt. Also, Reese/Finch becomes Rinch and Carter/Reese becomes [=CaReese=]. |
| 231 | * ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' has several of these, ranging from ''Series/{{Mighty Morphin|Power Rangers}}'' 's Tommy/Kim into "Tomberly," ''[[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder]]'' 's Kira/Tommy into "[[TeacherStudentRomance Kirommy]]," to ''[[Series/PowerRangersSPD SPD]]'' 's Sky/Bridge into "[[HoYay Skidge]]" and Jack/Syd to "Jacyd." When characters Mack, Will, Ronny, and Rose appeared in ''[[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Operation Overdrive]]'', various combinations resulting in "Rock" and "Roll" were inevitable. From ''[[Series/PowerRangersMegaForce Mega Force]]'', Gia and Emma = Giemma. |
| 232 | * ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'' fans have names for every conceivable ship (romantic ''and'' platonic). Some of the most common ones include: Ezria (Aria/Ezra), Spoby (Spencer/Toby), Wrencer (Spencer/Wren), Haleb (Hanna/Caleb), Paily (Emily/Paige), Emaya (Emily/Maya), Taleb (Toby/Caleb), Emison (Emily/Alison), Sparia (Spencer/Aria), Hannily (Hanna/Emily) |
| 233 | * ''Series/{{Primeval}}'' gives us Conby (Connor/Abby), Click (Claudia/Nick), Nickenny (Jenny/Nick), Janny or Denny (Danny/Jenny), Secker (Sarah/Becker), Jecker or Jesker (Jess/Becker), Memily (Matt/Emily), and probably tons more that no one bothers to think of. |
| 234 | * The ''Series/PrisonBreak'' fandom has [=MiSa=] for Michael/Sara. Less popular examples include Lara or [=LiSa=] (Lincoln/Sara, although it's also used by fans of their friendship), [=KeSa=] (Kellerman/Sara), [=MiSu=] (Michael/Sucre), [=LiSu=] or Surrows (Lincoln/Sucre), [=LiSo=] (Lincoln/Sofia), and Tabruzzi (Abruzzi/T-Bag). |
| 235 | * ''Series/{{Psych}}'': "Shules" for Shawn/Juliet and "Shassie" for Shawn/Lassie. The latter was actually used in the show itself, alongside "Shassiter" and "Sharlton," when Shawn got excited over Lassiter following his gut instincts. |
| 236 | * Fans of the ''Series/{{Reaper}}'' ship Sam/Devil tend to call it "Sevil". |
| 237 | * ''Series/RebeldeWay'': Pablizza (Pablo/Marizza) and Minuel (Mia/Manuel). They haven't completely taken off, due to the series not being that well known to English-speaking audiences, but at least "Pablizza" is used prominently in videos and as a hashtag on Twitter. And admittedly, it rolls off the tongue quite nicely. |
| 238 | * ''Series/RedDwarf'': The term “Rimster” (Rimmer/Lister) has sometimes been used for the pairing in the fandom. |
| 239 | * ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'' is littered with these, despite the ''Archie'' comics fanbase generally not using ship-names: |
| 240 | ** For the classic Archie/Betty/Veronica love triangle: Varchie or Archieronnie (Archie/Veronica), Barchie or Archetty (Betty/Veronica), Beronica ([[TakeAThirdOption Betty/Veronica]]), and Beronchie ([[OneTrueThreesome Betty/Veronica/Archie]]) |
| 241 | ** For popular couples outside of the main love triangle: Bughead (Betty/Jughead), Joaquin/Kevin (Joavin), Choni (Cheryl/Toni), Cheronica (Cheryl/Veronica), Jarchie (Jughead/Archie), and Archieval (Archie/Valerie) |
| 242 | ** For crack-ships: Chughead (Jughead/Cheryl), Juronica (Jughead/Veronica), Cherosie (Cheryl/Josie), Reghead (Reggie/Jughead), Beggie (Betty/Reggie), Keggie (Kevin/Reggie), Cheggie (Cheryl/Reggie), Chilton (Cheryl/Dilton), and much more. |
| 243 | * ''Series/RizzoliAndIsles'' shippers refer to Jane/Maura as Rizzles and Frost/Frakie as Frostie. |
| 244 | * In-universe example in ''Series/RoyalPains'': In "Astraphobia," when Evan and Divya discover that Jill and Hank have gotten back together (again), Evan comments, "Oh my god, Jill and Hank. Jank! Jank is back!" Then he proposes that since they make such a good team, [[ShipTease he and Divya should have a combo name]]. He rejects "Evadivs" and considers "Divyan." Divya suggests, "Divya [[BelligerentSexualTension and idiot]]. Diddiot." |
| 245 | * ''Series/SamAndCat'' has Puckentine for the lead duo Sam Puckett/Cat Valentine. There is also the InUniverse Frobbie for Freddie/Robbie. |
| 246 | * ''Series/TheSandman2022'': The Dream/Hob Gadling pairing was quickly dubbed "Dreamling" by fans. |
| 247 | * ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' has Cluke (Clyde/Luke), Clani (Clyde/Rani) and Lukria (Maria/Luke) among others. Luke used "Clani" in-universe in the final serial before the series' [[CharacterOutlivesActor untimely cancellation]]. |
| 248 | * ''Series/SchittsCreek'' has Texas (Ted/Alexis) and Datrick (David/Patrick). |
| 249 | * ''Series/{{Scorpion}}'' has used "Quintis" in-universe for Happy (Quinn) and Toby (Curtis). Fans also use "Waige" for Walter/Paige and "Melvester" for Sylvester/Megan (Walter's sister). |
| 250 | * ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': |
| 251 | ** Turk and Carla were sarcastically referred to by Dr. Cox as "Curk" and "Tarla" in one episode. Later, in the "My Princess" episode, Cox represents the two in his story as a two-headed witch named "Turla". |
| 252 | ** Some fans use [=JDox=] (JD/Cox), Jelliot (JD/Elliot), and Jorlliet (Jordan/Elliot). |
| 253 | * ''Series/TheSecretCircle'' has a ton of this. There is "Fayana" for the popular Faye/Diana ship, which has been used by the cast and crew to promote the show. There is also "Cadam" (Cassie/Adam), "Chamberlake" (Faye/Cassie), and "Jassie" or "Cake" for Cassie/Jake, and those are just the most popular ones. |
| 254 | * ''Series/ShamelessUS'': Fans of the canon gay pairing Ian/Mickey refer to them as "Gallavich", a combination of Ian ''Gallagher'' and Mickey ''Milkovich''. The term is also used from time to time by those who pair Lip (Ian's brother) with Mandy (Mickey's sister). |
| 255 | ** Some also use "Fimmy" or "Stona" for Fiona and Jimmy/Steve, depending on which of his two names the fan prefers. |
| 256 | * From the ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' fandom, which - as you will soon see - consists of practically every ship imaginable (and even some that are not): |
| 257 | ** Het pairings: Sherlene, Sherene, Adlock (Sherlock/Irene Adler); Sherlolly, Sherolly, Mollock (Sherlock/Molly); Jolly, Johnlolly (John/Molly); Lestrolly, Molstrade, Lolly (Lestrade/Molly); Mythea (Mycroft/Anthea); Morene (Moriarty/Irene); Myrene (Mycroft/Irene); Molliarty (Molly/Moriarty), Mollcroft, Molcroft (Molly/Mycroft), Salcroft (Sally/Mycroft) |
| 258 | ** Slash pairings: Johnlock (John/Sherlock); Mystrade (Mycroft/Lestrade); [=MorMor=] (Moriarty/Sebastian Moran); Sherstrade (Sherlock/Lestrade); Johnstrade (John/Lestrade); Jimlock, Sheriarty (Sherlock/Jim Moriarty); Johncroft (John/Mycroft); Mylock (Mycroft/Sherlock); Johnbastian (John/Sebastian Moran); Morlock (Sebastian Moran/Sherlock) |
| 259 | ** Femslash pairings: Molrene, Mollene (Molly/Irene) |
| 260 | ** [=OT3s=]: Jollock (John/Molly/Sherlock); Johnlockstrade (John/Sherlock/Lestrade); Johnlockary (John/Sherlock/Mary) |
| 261 | * ''Series/{{Skins}}'' fans wasted no time in combining the Emily/Naomi ship into "Naomily", which has permeated to the extent that E4 use it for official stuff (most notably the Unseen Skins features), and even the more mainstream media have picked it up. "Freffy" (Freddie/Effy) and "Ceffy" (Cook/Effy) are codified, but vastly less popular; "Keffy" (Katie/Effy) is established, but suffers from being non-canon. |
| 262 | ** From the first generation, there's Sid/Cassie, which were quickly nicknamed Sassie by fans. Other common nicknames are Chral (Chris/Jal), Taxxie (Tony/Maxxie), Chassie (Chris/Cassie), and [[BrotherSisterIncest Teffy or Stonemcest]] (Tony/Effy). |
| 263 | * ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': |
| 264 | ** [[OfficialCouple Clois]] ([[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]][=/=]ComicBook/{{Lois|Lane}}), [[DoomedByCanon Clana]] (Clark/Lana), [[DoomedByCanon Chlark]] ([[TheSmartGuy Chloe]]/Clark), [[BattleCouple Chlollie]] ([[MissionControl Chloe]]/[[ComicBook/GreenArrow Oliver Queen]]), [[UnholyMatrimony Lexana]] (ComicBook/LexLuthor[=/=][[TheCorruptible Lana]]), Chlex ([[FoeYayShipping Chloe/Lex]]). |
| 265 | ** Due to the fact that Clark and Chloe are both [[LauncherOfAThousandShips launchers of a thousand ships]] and their ship names tend to start with Cl- and Chl- respectively, many slash ships ([[MostFanFicWritersAreGirls usually on]] [[GuyOnGuyIsHot Clark's side]]) gets mixed up with straight ships on Chloe's side, and the prime example is Clex/Chlex. This ironically also happens with "Chlark" itself, as some people thought it was a misspelling of "Clark". |
| 266 | ** Lesser known pairings include [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Chlod]], Mionel, Clollie (note the lack of the "h"), etc. |
| 267 | ** They use it in the forums AND on the show itself. ("Lexana" in a newspaper heading as [[spoiler:they get married]] (as a reference to tabloids using Portmanteau Couple names with RealLife famous couples, "Bluretto" in the episode "Stiletto" in reference Lois's temporary superhero id and Clark's current press nickname "The Red Blue Blur"). |
| 268 | * ''Series/SonnyWithAChance'' has Channy (Chad Dylan Cooper/Sonny Monroe). |
| 269 | * ''Franchise/StarTrek'' |
| 270 | ** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': |
| 271 | *** Kirk/Spock became "Spirk" (although it's sometimes jokingly called "Kock" or "Kick"). There's even an ''[[SeriousBusiness ongoing debate]]'' over which one should be the "official" pairing name, with a third subset of fans wailing that a portmanteau does -- well, something bad to the fandom, anyway -- and that the only proper shortening of the pairing is K/S. |
| 272 | *** There's "[=McSpirk=]" for [=McCoy=]/Spock/Kirk, although "[=McSpork=]" would probably be funnier. |
| 273 | *** "Chulu" is becoming rather popular for Chekov/Sulu, as is "Spuhura" for Spock/Uhura. They've been popping up like whack-a-moles since ''Film/StarTrek2009'' came out. |
| 274 | *** "Scones" came up on the kink meme as a name for the Bones/Scotty ship. |
| 275 | *** "[=McKirk=]" and "Jones" for the pairing of Kirk and [=McCoy=], a.k.a. Jim and Bones. |
| 276 | *** "T'Pura" for T'Pring/Uhura. |
| 277 | *** "Chahura" for Chapel/Uhura. |
| 278 | ** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': "[=DaForge=]" for Data/Geordi. |
| 279 | ** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': "Garashir" for Garak/Bashir. |
| 280 | ** ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': "Hughnor" for Hugh/Elnor; the name was coined on Tumblr, but the pairing itself was created by [[https://ca.ign.com/articles/picard-hugh-nepenthe-episode-7-jonathan-del-arco-elnor Jonathan Del Arco,]] so the shippers have the blessing of WordOfSaintPaul. |
| 281 | * This idea has exploded with ''Series/StargateAtlantis''. Sort of understandable in that one of the main character's name is [=McKay=], which has led to various pairing names like [=McWeir=] ([=McKay=] and Elizabeth Weir), [=McShep=] ([=McKay=] and John Sheppard), [=McCarter=] ([=McKay=] and Samantha Carter), [=McKeller=]... you get the idea. |
| 282 | * Common among the popular/long-lasting couples on ''Series/SoYouThinkYouCanDance''. Most prominent would be Ivison (Ivan/Allison), Katua (Katee/Joshua), and Marksie (Mark/Chelsie). Sometimes acknowledged on the show, with "Benjelle" (Benji/Donyelle) [later parodied with "Tranji" (Travis/Benji)] and "Twitchington" (Twitch/Kherington). Also can pop up for couples that didn't actually happen, such as "Travison" (Travis/Allison) and [[HoYay "Trivan" (Travis/Ivan)]]. |
| 283 | * ''Series/SouthOfNowhere'' fans refer to Spencer/anybody by putting Spencer's name first: Spashley/Spash (Spencer/Ashley), Spangs/Sparmen (Spencer/Carmen AKA Bangs), Spaiden (Spencer/Aiden) etc. |
| 284 | * ''Series/SpecialOpsLioness'': Cruz and Aaliyah are called "Cruzaaliyah" by shippers. |
| 285 | * ''Series/StarskyAndHutch'' has an in-universe example: Starsky's mechanic calls him and Hutch "Starskinson." |
| 286 | * ''Series/StrangersFromHell'' has "Jongmoon" for Jong-woo/Moon-jo. |
| 287 | * ''Series/StrangerThings'' brings us several: |
| 288 | ** Mileven (Mike Wheeler/Eleven) |
| 289 | ** Byler (Will Byers/Mike Wheeler), |
| 290 | ** Stancy (Steve Harrington/Nancy Wheeler) |
| 291 | ** Jancy (Jonathan Byers/Nancy Wheeler) |
| 292 | ** Lumax (Lucas Sinclair/Max Mayfield), |
| 293 | ** Elmax (Eleven/Max Mayfield), |
| 294 | ** Harringrove (Steve Harrington/Billy Hargrove) |
| 295 | ** Jopper (Joyce Byers/Jim Hopper) |
| 296 | ** Ronance (Robin Buckley/Nancy Wheeler) |
| 297 | * ''Series/{{Suits}}'' fans came up with Marvey for Harvey/Mike and Darvey for Harvey/Donna. Apparently Harvey's name lends itself to these. |
| 298 | * ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': |
| 299 | ** The two biggest ships in the fandom are Destiel or [=DeanCas=] (Dean/Castiel) and Wincest (Sam/Dean; the portmanteau comes from their last name Winchester and [[IncestYayShipping them being brothers]]). The show has referred to these ship names in episodes where the characters find fanfiction or fan conventions based on books written about their adventures; when Sam learns about Destiel in one of these episodes, he muses that "Deastiel" would be more appropriate. |
| 300 | ** For those not into Destiel or Wincest, Sassy or Sastiel (Sam/Castiel) is a third option and Wincestiel (Sam/Dean/Castiel) is a fourth option. |
| 301 | ** Sam/Lucifer is Samifer, but this term is also used to describe [[spoiler:when Lucifer is using Sam as a vessel in The End]]. |
| 302 | ** Sam/Gabriel is Samriel or Sabriel, the latter which can be a bit of a MindScrew for a ''Supernatural'' fan who also enjoys the [[Literature/{{Sabriel}} novel of the same name]]. |
| 303 | ** Other ship portmanteaus: Samby or Suby (Sam/Ruby), Megstiel (Meg/Castiel), Denny (Dean/Benny), Destiny (Dean/Castiel/Benny), Crobby (Crowley/Bobby), Samelia (Sam/Amelia), Saileen (Sam/Eileen), Calthazar (Castiel/Balthazar), and that's not even all of them for characters who've actually interacted in canon. |
| 304 | * Rob and Amber from ''Series/{{Survivor}}'' and Series/TheAmazingRace were dubbed "Romber" after the Survivor: All Stars season ended with them in the final two. |
| 305 | * ''Series/TeenWolf'' has Scallison for Scott and Allison and Sterek for Stiles/Derek. |
| 306 | ** As the series grew popular, so did the ship names; now there's Stydia (Stiles/Lydia), Jydia (Jackson/Lydia), Halemore (Derek ''Hale''/Jackson Whitte''more''), Scisaac (Scott/Isaac), Pydia (Peter/Lydia), Dennifer (Derek/Jennifer), Allydia (Allison/Lydia), Dethan (Danny/Ethan), Derica (Derek/Erica), Sterica (Stiles/Erica), Dackson (Jackson/Danny), and the list goes on and on... |
| 307 | * ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'' already had "Camerah" for Cameron/Sarah after just one episode. As well as "Jameron" for John/Cameron, "Dameron" for Derek/Cameron, and "Jamerek" for John/Cameron/Derek. |
| 308 | * In-universe example on ''Series/That70sShow'': Shortly after Eric and Donna have sex for the first time, Eric describes to Hyde that it felt like becoming a new entity altogether..."Donric Formciotti". |
| 309 | * ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'' and its SequelSeries ''Series/RavensHome'' has Chrave ([[LesYay Chelsea/Raven]]) for the fandom's most popular pairing. |
| 310 | * ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' fandom gets into the act as well. Janto, Gwack, Gwys, Towen, and Janten sound utterly ridiculous (Jack/Ianto, Gwen/Jack, Gwen/Rhys, Tosh/Owen, and Jack/Ianto/Tenth Doctor, respectively). |
| 311 | * ''Series/UnnaturalHistory'' has Hesper (Henry/Jasper), Menry or Haggie for Henry/Maggie, Jaggie (Jasper/Maggie), and Hespaggie for Henry/Jasper/Maggie. |
| 312 | * ''Series/TheUntamed'' has Wangxian for Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, Xiyao for Lan Xichen/Jin Guangyao, Xuexiao for Xue Yang/Xiao Xingchen, Sangcheng for Nie Huaisang/Jiang Cheng, and many others. |
| 313 | * Franchise/TheVampireDiariesUniverse: |
| 314 | ** Fans of ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' have too many to count, due to the large amounts of ShipTease on the show. Some of the most common ones include: Stelena (Stefan/Elena), Delena (Damon/Elena), Stebekah (Stefan/Rebekah), Roman (Rose/Dameron), Steferine or Statherine (Stefan/Katherine), Datherine (Damon/Katherine), Daroline (Damon/Caroline), Jerennie or Beremy (Bonnie/Jeremy) |
| 315 | ** The show also generated an astounding number of {{Crack Pairing}}s that include: Jyler (Jeremy/Tyler), Kateline or Fortrova (Caroline Forbes/Katerine Petrova a.k.a. Katherine Pierce), Giltrova or Katelena (Katherine/Elena), Klaroline (Kalus/Caroline), Stelijah (Elijah/Stefan), Klamon (Klaus/Damon) |
| 316 | ** The series' spin-off, ''Series/TheOriginals'', introduced more of these: Haylijah (Hayley/Elijah), Klamille or Cami (Klaus/Camille), Rebel or Marbekah (Rebekah/Marcel), Kolvina (Kol/Davina), Freelin (Freya/Keelin), Jaiden (Josh/Aiden) and Klayley (Klaus/Hayley), just for starters. |
| 317 | ** The other spinoff ''Series/{{Legacies}}'' introduced even more: Handon (Hope/Landon), Posie (Penelope/Josie), Hizzie (Hope/Lizzie), Hafael (Hope/Rafael), Hosie (Hope/Josie), Jasie (Jade/Josie), Haya (Hope/Maya)... and that's not even half of all the ship portmanteaus out there. |
| 318 | * "[=LoVe=]" for Logan/Veronica off ''Series/VeronicaMars''. The pun doesn't work with other pairings, but they mostly follow the same pattern anyway (eg. [=DuVe=], [=MaDi=], [=DoVe=]...). For Veronica/Duncan, the fans only used their initials and came up with "VD." |
| 319 | * ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' had many the day that the series came out, probably due to the popularity of portmanteau couple names on ''Series/ICarly'' above, from the same creator: "Bade" (Beck/Jade), "Bori" (Beck/Tori), "Cabbie" (Cat/Robbie), "Tandre" (Tori/Andre), "Trobbie" (Trina/Robbie), "Cade" (Cat/Jade), Bat (Beck/Cat), Jori (Jade/Tori), Catorade (Cat/Tori/Jade), and many, many others. |
| 320 | * ''Series/TheVillainsOfValleyView'': Those who ship Amy/Hartley tend to call them "Hartmy", which is a combination of their two names. |
| 321 | * ''Series/Warehouse13'': The popular Myka Bering and Helena "H.G." Wells pairing are commonly referred to as "Bering & Wells" by their shippers. This is referenced InUniverse in a season 3 episode by the characters. There is also "Pyka" for Pete/Myka and "Cleena" for Claudia/Leena. |
| 322 | * ''Series/WarriorNun'': Most Ava and Beatrice shippers refer to them as "Avatrice". |
| 323 | * ''Series/{{Wednesday}}'': |
| 324 | ** As far back as the teaser trailer, many fans started to ship Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair. These shippers quickly dubbed them "Wenclair". |
| 325 | ** Creator/HunterDoohan coined the name "Tylorpe" for the Tyler Galpin/Xavier Thorpe ship that quickly became ShipMates with the popular "Wenclair" (Wednesday/Enid) ship. |
| 326 | ** On the het side, there's "Wavier" for Wednesday/Xavier and "Wyler" for Wednesday/Tyler. |
| 327 | ** Some other portmanteaus include "Wenclay" (Wednesday/Bianca Barclay), "Yokovina" (Yoko/Divina), "Bianko" (Bianca/Yoko), "Xajax" (Ajax/Xavier), and "Morissa" (Morticia/Larissa). |
| 328 | * ''Series/TheWheelOfTime2021'': Following the reveal that Moiraine Damodred and Siuan Sanche [[spoiler: are in a SecretRelationship in this version]], the fandom quickly took to referring to the ship as "Siuanraine" on sites like Tumblr and Twitter. |
| 329 | * ''Series/TheWhiteQueen'': "Richanne" for Richard of Gloucester/Anne Neville. |
| 330 | * ''Series/TheWilds'': "Shoni" for Shelby and Toni is popular among fans. |
| 331 | * ''Series/Willow2022'': The fandom quickly coined "Tanthamore" (Kit Tanthalos/Jade Claymore) and "Graylora" (Elora Danan/Prince Graydon). |
| 332 | * ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' has [[BrotherSisterIncest Jalex (Justin Russo/Alex Russo)]]. |
| 333 | * ''Series/WordOfHonor'' has Wenzhou for Wen Kexing/Zhou Zishu and Yexie for Ye Baiyi/the Scorpion King (Xie Wang). |
| 334 | * ''Series/WynonnaEarp'': |
| 335 | ** Waverly Earp/Nicole Haught quickly became known as [[{{Pun}} WayHaught]] (Way Hot). As of the season 2 finale, it's even used [[AscendedMeme in dialogue]]. |
| 336 | ** Also, before Waverly and Officer Haught got together, Wynonna/Haught as Wynaught (Why Not). |
| 337 | * Scully/Mulder on ''Series/TheXFiles'' became "Sculder" or "Mully". |
| 338 | * From ''Series/YouMeAndTheApocalypse'', the canon ship between Arnold and Scotty has been dubbed Artty. |
| 339 | * ''Series/YouMeHer'': |
| 340 | ** InUniverse, Nina called her and Izzy "Izzny" once, which is fitting given they have a PseudoRomanticFriendship. |
| 341 | ** Emma, Jack and Izzy also get called "EJI" (pronounced "edgy") from their initials. |
