This Troper has found it hard to do when the two names are Anna and Andrew (my friends, Andrew has a thing for Anna and we both suspect she has a thing for him). Annadrew?

This troper and a female friend of his recently got paired together by her friends, all because I help her with her math. That being said, her name begins with "Ca", while mine ends with "ke." Together, we become "Cake." We are not actually together, despite what every other student in the school thinks.Cue the references.

This troper and her friend give these to our school's resident LittleBlackDress and his various girlfriends. Such gems as "Mattia" (Matt+Nadia), "Mendra" (Matt+Kendra), and "Mattelsea" (Matt+Chelsea) resulted.

"Rika" + Andrew = Randrew.

Audrey + Raymond = Audraymond

This troper's relationship with a former lauched of a thousand ships worked out quite nicely in this department (Ryan+ Angela= Ryangela). This trope really took affect though when this troper's close friends 9 month relationship (this was in sixth grade btw) was said to be doomed because their names didn't fit nicely (Kori+David= Korvid? Dari? nah) and two days later they broke up

Sorta: Nicholas +Nicole= Nick

This troper's friends do this with real people, on a regular basis. "Megan" and "Devon" become "Mayden", pronounced like it looks. You can imagine what happened when the guy in the "relationship" heard himself referred to by this name. But she will never understand how that one works.

However, the real kicker (and the best one this troper has ''ever'' heard of) is Carl/Jessica, or "Carsicca".

This troper knows Chuck/Rebecca, or "Chubecca".

This troper knows a few: Scott/Robin = Robott, John + Kathleen = Johnleen. The former being better than the latter.

This troper's nickname within her circle of friends is Rain. Her boyfriend's nickname within the same circle of friends is Cloud. Three guesses as to what we were christened shortly after we officially became a couple.

Storm?

Try "Raincloud". :P

Thanks a lot. My sister and her friends - all girls except for TheOneGuy, who's gay - also call each other by noun nicknames, in their case food (Lemon, Lime, Melon, Pizza, and Anise if that's not her actual name) and now I'm picturing them together and IT IS DOING BAD THINGS TO MY BRAIN. And the only one of those combinations of actual food that would taste good is Lemon/Lime.

No love for Melon Pizza? Lemon Pizza, on the other hand, just sounds like an ecchi anime...

No Lemons, No Melon.

Sounds like you're reading the ingredients for flavored Gin.

Nick and Elanor became Nel.

This troper once found out that an alumnus of his school had the first name [=JoRel=]. He spent a lot of time wondering what nationality would happen to create Kryptonian names when he discovered that this was a very Caucasian girl whose name was her parents' Portmanteau Couple Name.

There should be a specially severe form of death penalty for people who do things like that.

Azmon + Brianna = Brazmon.

This troper strongly dislikes {{PortmanteauCoupleName}}s and uses them as rarely as possible; she blames the media for shoving Bennifer, [=TomKat=], Vaughniston, Brangelina, etc. down everyone's throats ad nauseum. However, she has to admit that if she and her husband had to use such a name, she's amused that they would be described as Kevlar.

This troper also hates Portmanteau Couple Names. She was not amused (well, maybe just a little) when their friends started referring to her (Maia) and her boyfriend (Michael) as Maiachael.

My RE teacher was Ms. Reddish, got married and is now Mrs. Brown. I call her Mrs. Reddish-Brown.

How about Mrs. Maroon?

My circle of friends has a lot of fun with these. Our two prominent couples are Chris and Ashley, which portmanteaus quite nicely to "Chrashley," and Robby and Diana, which results in either "Dobby" or "Riana;" I believe the couple prefers the latter. Recently, Alex and Alicia have become an item, but that spawned so many possibilities I don't believe one has been decided on.

The irrepressible {{Zordauch}}, occasionally logging in as "[=TiZ=]", introduced his girlfriend Kizba to an online forum he used to frequent. [=KizTiZ=] can now be found under TroperTales for UglyGuyHotWife.

This troper's high school was full of these. The two that stick out were Pann (Patrick and Ann) and The Gay Couple, known as Moos (Matt and Roos - his last name).

This troper has a dog named Pepper. Pepper was enrolled in puppy training with another dog named Jack, and in a moment of total silliness, I told my friends that their ship name would be Pepperjack.

This troper and some friends were joking around with the idea of NASA being/having a fandom and making up "shipping" names for various spacecraft that had done joint missions. Saturn + Apollo = Sapollo. Hubble + Shuttle = Huttle. Orion + Ares = Ories.

This troper has two friends in a SchoolgirlLesbians relationship. Their names are Ma and Ngo. Combined, they are... '''''Mango!'''''

This Troper and her boyfriend have the unfortunate combination of our names and friends who like anime and portmanteau pairing names. Our names are Whitney and Jonny. Thus, when you put it together...you just get our names if done phonetically: Jonney and Whitnny.

This troper has two friends who are dating. When the subject of Portmanteau Couple Names came up, they immediately leapt on "Lilly", based on their first names. But my friends and I didn't want them getting off too easily, so we took their surnames and came up with a classic that everyone in our group now uses: "Grogbag". ItMakesSenseInContext. We also think it sounds very Australian--or at least, appropriate to the part of Australia where we live.

My name is Susannah. My friend is convinced that I have a crush on Anakin Skywalker (I don't, but I dare you to try telling her that), and has portmanteaued us as "Susanakin". ^^;

This troper went to high school with a couple, Dylan and Andrea; a Gov & Politics teacher slurred their names into Dylandrea. (It went from "Good afternoon Dylan and Andrea" to "Good afternoon Dylan 'n Andrea" and so on.)

Chron.

This male troper finds Portmanteaued names stupid. Nevertheless, even he has to admit that ''Willissa'' has a nice ring to it.

This troper has a classmate who is obsessed with Daniel Radcliffe. They're named Damita.

This troper gives these to any random real life couple. We have: Nickel, Java, Jana, Henna, Buchlin, Milery, Randrea, Matvia. Not all are canon couples.

This troper's school doesn't have any portmanteau couples, but we do have [=ZakNSarah=].

This troper and his girlfriend were christened Aliscott by her two-year old niece.

Thanks to one of my class advisers in freshman year and his idea to crown the class' Loveteam of the Year, my class ended up with a bunch of these. None of the nominees were canon, though (save for one couple, whose canonical status expired more than a month ago). But now we've got official couples with [=PCNs=], with one involving me.

This troper's old high school class made a PCN for resident perfect-couple Benjamin and Angela. The result was the rather catchy "Bengela".

Mormon missionaries refer to each other by their surnames. Some companionships last for months. This inevitably leads to this trope. The most famous in This Troper's mission were "Gawkins" (Gaunt and Hawkins) and Hawkberg/Thwarkins (Hawkins and Thornburg). Stunt (Stubbs and Hunt) was tried, but never stuck.

Alex and Cat = Alley Cat. Thank god it didn't stick.

This troper and her boyfriend cant make one with their real names, but then again their shortened and preferred nicknames are pronounced EXACTLY THE SAME (Robby and Robbi).

You know you're going off the deep end when you do this to your own fictional characters. Not that this troper would have any personal experience with that or anything, ha-ha.

This troper was in the process of nudging two characters in my original comic into a relationship, when it suddenly occurred to me that their portmanteau couple name would be Viagra... and one of them is a male vampire who died quite some time ago. I may not be able to go through with this.

I'm definitely crazy, then. For my [=OCs=], I've come up with [=AkiAma=], [=AkiRia=], [=HoukoRia=], Ayashi, and Shinjaya. More are yet to come.

Heh, this troper does the same thing. The portmanteaus range from the oddly adorable (Jolhi, Filekait, Imchan), to the bizarre-sounding (Batelsolde), to the ones that are actual words or names (Demon, TamLin, Almond).

This troper has done several for both classmates and characters from original stories. This gets really fun with one story involving several love triangle, quadrilaterals, etc. among characters when most of them are performers portray quite a few different characters on a show.

I've done this with my MassiveMultiplayerCrossover story ''The Animation Crossroads'' too, mainly because if I ever get this to be a film trilogy like I plan, I'm taking a leaf out of Mike and Bryan's book and messing with the shippers' heads. It would be fun. Let's see, I've got Dedrrence, Terrlena, Robdra, Robanne, Dedranne, Selebyn, Roxlena, Seledra, Morgory, and ''Robyrrence'' (Hey, someone will ship them sooner or later). And I've haven't included the possibilities with the already-established characters.

Once, my friend was being teased about someone who liked her. One of my other friends responded with this nickname: Bridie+Simon=Bimon. It was quite funny, actually.

This troper hangs with the theater kids, and we've named one couple, Adil and Debbie, "Adilbie." Actually they get very annoyed when anyone calls them this, even if not to their face.

While not a couple, people refer to me and my brother/twin/clone as Justinic

Thanks a lot Bro. They don't really do that anymore though.

A bunch of my friends tried to hook up two people in a scheme which included a facebook group with a Portmaneau name "Jate Fearson". As of the time of writing, they're too embarrassed to even make eye contact.

This Troper has a friend, and them and their girlfriends name makes Jedward...they dont like it though cause of those awful singers, which makes us name them it even more

In This Troper's circle of friends, when Jenna and Kenn (spelled exactly like that) started going out, it was only natural that they should collectively become Kenna.

Same Troper: Kenna broke up. Now Kenn is interested in our other friend, Jenny, who seems to reciprocate. "Kenny" might be about to happen. Which would be bloody hilarious.

This troper (Aly) has tried doing this with her crush (Erin) but can't think of anything. Any suggestions? For now, though, I'm going with a PCN of our YouTube screennames, which would be "Shadow Cat" or something like that.

Eraly, or Alyrin, I suppose.

Alyin?

My friend Derek was going out with a girl named Sherri. I called them Sherek, which I then shortened to Shrek.

This Troper's name is El, so while my friends like to give portmanteau couple names out to people, they weren't left with many options with my name being so short... Then we all realized that everything sounds like a drug or chemical with el attached to it. Elethan, for indigestion! Andrewel, for Exploding Spleen Syndrome. Davisel, for dry, itchy eyes. (May cause growth of extra toes, often on your feet.) The sheer volume of running gags that came out of this is astounding.

You go by El, and no Kryptonian shipping names? Really? Date someone named Jordan. JorEl. Calvin (or Clark for the lulz)- KalEl. Conner would obviously be KonEl, but so could Conrad.

This troper once tried to create a relationship chart of her classmates... and then gave up halfway through it. She ''did'' create portmanteaus for the couples she supports, though, and boy don't we have one for every flavor. There's Raphylia, Fabiano, Martinita, Walmart, Nicotina and Dottrina and this troper's personal OTP, Seletia. If they ever split up I'm going to cry.

Emma/Frances - Fremma.

This troper is trying to come up with a name for his friends who have recently become a couple, Jordan/Dillon. So far, all he has is Jollon and....Dildan. Yeah, maybe I should leave this to experts.

This troper's friends did this to her just because the couple name ended up being "Lice."

This troper's Biology teacher did it a few years ago. Like, for Josh and Molly - 'Jolly'.

Brianne + Paul = Braul! or Panne, but that isn't nearly as much fun. However, Rebekah + Austen = Reben or Auskah...and neither sound alright.

My friend's friend got a girlfriend. The friend's name is Sierra. The girlfrend is Kiara. Thier initials are KS. What did we come up with? KillSteel.

This troper had a couple of friends who were dating. Their names were Trent and Sasha, so she named them "Trasha" (Er, pronouncing it "Trah-sha" so that they wouldn't notice it had "trash" in it and get offended or something). Since people tend to do this with celebrity names, another friend and I decided they were famous and spent the entire day following them around pretending to be their bodyguards.

This troper likes to combine this trope with IdiosyncraticShipNaming based on what the name portmanteau sounds like. She teased her two friends, Bob and Anna, with "Banana Shipping". Then Bob developed a crush on this troper, and so she, sportingly, mashed their names together and came up with "Hairbrush Shipping" due to "Bristi" sounding a bit like "bristle". They broke up after a time, and a couple years later this troper began dating a guy named Bill. She dubbed her self-couple "Krill" and declared that it was called "Shellfish Shipping", but then decided ''that'' sounded enough like "Selfish Shipping" to be sufficiently hilarious, especially coupled with the fact that they can often come off as selfish due to the way they tend to argue and banter with varying degrees of playfulness.

This troper has two boys in her class that have a very passionate bromance. Their couple name, "Fludge", is a portmanteau of one's first name (Flynn) and the other's last name (Mudge).

Flynn + Gabby = Flabby. Brilliant.

This troper has two friends who are dating, whose nicknames are Jessy and Jerry. Their couple name? Jersy.

Mallory + Ben = Men. Yeah, no.

This troper desn't have a portmanteau couple name, but, due to the fact that they share the names of the title characters in a popular sitcom, she and her boyfriend have come to be known fairly exclusively as "WillandGrace".

This troper loves the portmanteau she made up for her and her boyfriend. Rowena + Kyle = Royle! Oh yeeeeah! She's also just thought up another one, which is even better: Kyro. Double yeeeeah!

This troper and her best friend (who is ''just'' a friend, despite what others think) are often called by 'the others' "Alexandrew". (Alexandra + Andrew)

Megan and Robert becomes Megbert. They hate it, so naturally no one ever uses any other title to address them by. We also have Josney (Josh and Courtney), Mattanda (Matt and Amanda), Spenivienne or Vivencer (Spencer and Vivienne), Jamana or Liames (Liana and James.) Platonic portmanteaus include The Arlots (Charlotte and Scarlett), Megra (Laura and Megan) and SherTop (The surnames Sherson and Topping)

This troper doesn't normally do this with couples, but she does it with buddy pictures and comedy teams sometimes: Hosby (Hope/Crosby), Prylder (Pryor/Wilder), and Stillson (Stiller/Wilson) are a few examples. Can't do it with Cheech and Chong, though -- it doesn't work, for obvious reasons.

My best friend and her boyfriend are Antivy (Anthony + Livi), and they are an OfficialCouple par excellence, complete with WillTheyOrWontThey, UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo, an armada of Shippers On Deck, and enough {{UST}} to fuel a small Midwestern city. Now resolved, to the general delight of everyone we know, including both sets of parents.

This Tropers parents have been using Karalan (Karen + Alan) for years. This troper personally prefers Alakare.

This Troper (Gavin) and his wife (Emma) go by Gamma. The apartment, then, is the Gamma Quadrant.

This troper's life is made of these. Marlie (Mika/Charlie), Layne (Lindsey/Rayne), Tickan (affectionately used for Megan/Tick, Tick being a large red stuffed animal), to name a few.

Oh boy. I've seen Sydia (Sidney/Lydia), [=NiSid=] (Nisa/Sidney), Kid (Kate/Sidney), Salana (Sidney/Alana), Jizzy (Jake/Izzy), Jayla (Jake/Kayla), Keluke (Kelly/Luke). This troper's friends have funny names.

This troper likes to do this often, whether they're an OfficialCouple, or I'm just trying to mess with one or both of them. Some examples are Cyber (Cyrus + Bernise) and Reyna (Rey + Jana).

A friend of this troper combined her and her fiance's surnames to name their apartment on Foursquare.

Shockingly enough, this troper's English teacher apparently makes couple names of his own students. He put them in our final exam as one of the choices of a multiple choice test. Among them, called "Dhem-Ron" got turned into something of a meme in my class.

Using the last names of her best friend and the best friend's Boyfriend, This Troper came up with "Evergreen"

When this troper was, like, 10, and dating a boy at school, our 'couple name' was Camel, from Cammi + Daniel. Ughhh...

Back when this troper had a boyfriend, her friend's lunch table tried to make us a PortmaneauCoupleName...of course, it turned out that Rachel and Ryan could not be combined in any way to make a decent one.

This troper cannot find a way to make a couple name for two of her friends (Elizabethe and Skyler) who are going out. Elizaler? It sounds like some sort of reptile. Skybethe? That just sounds weird. I don't think either of them would appreciate haveing one though...

This troper's friend came up with a name for one of our worst enemies (although it was unintentional at first, we still found it highly amusing). The two people were Aspen and Nick. She called the Asspick.

Don't you mean "abbreverything"?
