Actually, I think that the "X and Y" part is context enough. Always hard to establish with name tropes like that.

I'd probably shove it in the Trivia tab, because that's all these names are. I'd also stick with either major relations like the Asami/Mako/Korra/Bolin love triangle-thingy, where people root for one side or the other. Or if there are huge fan pairings, they could count.
Portmanteau Couple Name is not Trivia, actually, Also, we usually don't care about popularity at all.

I think the point is it should be a Trivia trope, or possibly YMMV since that's where Idiosyncratic Ship Naming is.
I thought maybe it wasn't labelled as such because there are plenty of In-Universe ones, but nope, it's specifically about shipping.
Anyway, it doesn't belong on the main page in any case. Not to mention every single one is added by a single user (creader)... it just isn't main page material.

@Septimus Heap: We don't care about popularity of works, but for fan generated stuff like these portmanteau? I think a little discretion is needed. I mean, not every fan fiction gets its own page here, does it?
Every fan fiction work can get its own page (with are exceptions). As for "discretion" with respect of examples, too frequently it becomes "I disagree", which is not a reason for removing stuff at all with YMMV items.
Portmanteau Couple Name will need a YMMV banner methinks, but that is properly forum discussion.

Setting aside that this should really be a ymmv trope, these examples are zero context and in some cases feature two characters that have never even met.
Don't think this trope should be just an excuse to put up a long list on arbitrary names, but at the very least explain why they are called such.
