From Valerie:

Come up with a name for a Millicanonical pairing you like (including your own). This can be either an appropriate word or phrase (as with "Wolfstar" for the Remus/Sirius HP ship) or a contraction of the characters' names (as "Zutara" for the Zuko/Katara Avatar ship). If your Milliways pairing is canonical, what the heck, name that too.

Enzo Matrix/Dani Phantom: GhostNet

shinyhappygoth: Of course, the best reason for using GhostNet is that, by the other system, they end up as Danzo. Which, as a friend pointed out, sounds like a cleaning product.
ladyiapetus: Ew, yeah it does. Enni doesn't sound much better, either...
shinyhappygoth: Gah, no. It sounds like the unholy offspring of Yanni and Enya.
...
a_is_for_amy: Enzani
shinyhappygoth: Luxury car.


Matrix/AndrAIa: Fisheye
*ducks tomatoes*

[shinyhappygoth]

Oh, and I hereby propose "Deerhide" for Ironhide/Lissar.

[ofthefamily]

Mal and Inara: Malara? Which totally reads as 'malaria' to me.
Carlisle and Esme: LOL Isle Esme. xD Oh Canon.
SARAH/George: Uh...you tell me.
Eisenheim/Sophie: No clue.
Sallie...has no one to ship with. :(

[mm-gao.livejournal.com]

SARAH/George = SURGE.

[kd7sov]

So far, at least, I'm intending to stick with the (semi-)canonical shippings in Milliways.

Frederic/Mabel would be... Maederic? Frebel?

Felix/Sheba is already Lighthouseshipping. Golden Sun fandom doesn't go in for Portmanteau Couple Names.

I got nothing for anybody else's pups.

[justdidntseeit]

a) Mornin'!

b) Let's see -- Kate Warner/Bill Pardy: Team Kill? Team Bate? Or maybe 24-hour Pardy People?

As for Ben Wade/Fira: Bira? Fen? The Space-Cowboy Coalition?

[doihearawaltz.livejournal.com]

Or maybe 24-hour Pardy People?

I LOVE THIS.

[saphyria.livejournal.com]

Slayers canon pairing, at least anime canon-ish pairing: Zelgamelia, I suppose, for Zelgadiss and Amelia, though it sounds like a kind of microscopic creature that causes digestion problems if ingested. >_> Possibly Ameliadiss? Though that sounds like a rare kind of day-lily. Codename: HMS Rock-Hard Hammer of Justice HMS Stone Justice. :D

Sunshine-wise, it's a bit harder. Just about everyone involved has a single-syllable name. RaeCon sounds like a little-known anime convention, as does Suncon (held in Florida, of course). MelRae is just odd, and RaeMel is too. Possibly we just have to have a code-name for those ships.

Con/Rae: The HMS Midnight
Mel/Rae: The HMS High Noon

:D

Yrael's a bit harder to work with, for this. The HMS Death Ray Cat? The HMS Zapcat! >_>

[littlemajesty.livejournal.com]

I've seen Zelgadiss and Amelia shortened into ZelMel before.

[aberration]

Well, I've seen Sharon/Helo called 'the Fightin' Agathons,' which I like better than something like, uh, 'Heron.' I've got nothing on Gaius/Six. And Carla/Turk should just be 'Turla' thanks to that Princess Bride episode.

'Elle' is pretty easy to stick into people's names, but that's... all I'm going to say about that -__- (Or: EX *gets whapped by varadia*)

And... I'm my brain is too dead to come up with anything besides stupid name combinations for other people's pairings. Jart? Mikel? Marsills?

[mm-gao.livejournal.com]

X-L, surely? And while we're dodging varadia, we can talk about a prescription for RX. >.>

Ugh. I just cringed at my own pun.

[bethan-b-bad.livejournal.com]

Sam and Medusa: Smeda? HMS Snake Symbol? Shortarses OTP? I dunno. But Sam and Jack Harkness would, appropriately enough, be Sack.

(I do like that the initials of Sam-Atton-Medusa spells out Sam's name, though.)

I'm not much good at these, apparently, but I remain fond of the namesmushes cherished (and possibly created) by my housemates and I for New!Trek. Scotty/Bones would be Scones (admittedly, simply because we want to watch the fans squabble about pronunciation), Sulu/Chekov is Sukov (say it right and it sounds like Suck-Off -- yes, we are thirteen years old, why do you ask?). Alternatively, Bones/Scotty gives you Botty... yeah, make that nine years old, not thirteen. McCoy/Kirk/Spock gives you McKock, the hallmark of a true Scotman, and as the whole fandom knows by now Kirk/Spock is just Kock. (Or Spork.)

It's a pity about Uhura: I love her to bits and enjoy Uhura/Spock, but her name doesn't really lend itself to comedy namesmushes. Anyone got any ideas?

...Er. Yes. *shuts up now*

[djcati.livejournal.com]

Spura.

[vivien]

Toor just ain't right.

I'll go for Underdarkside for Tom and Door. Maybe. That's kinda goofy, too.

[saphyria.livejournal.com]

Door+Tom = Doom? :D

[austen.livejournal.com]

Pam/Jim are either known as Jam or PB&J, which I think is adorable. Um.

Ned/Chuck: Nuck? Ched? Cannot stand either of those, so I will not attempt to come up with any others.

Cuddy/Thirteen: Thirdy. Ahahaha.

Beckett/Castle: Caskett is what people usually refer to them by, I believe.

Sally/Eddie: Again, my brain is comin' up with nothing.

Annnd Lacey/Middleman: Middlelace is the only one that I could do that I like. Or Laceman? Maybe? Naaaah.

[saphyria.livejournal.com]

Ned/Chuck = Neck?

Sally/Eddie = Sellie?

[lunamystic]

It's not a millicanonical pairing, but Shati and I used to talk about Mulan+Alanna = Mulanna. Which is fun to say. :D

Alanna and Adam? I dunno. Will and Elizabeth, I think, are sometimes called 'Willabeth.'

[homicidalfink.livejournal.com]

Clark + Eirene = Clarene. I think Steph was the one who thought that up.

Canon-wise:
Martha and Jonathan would be ...Jonartha? Marathan?
Kara is paired briefly with Jimmy and would probably be Kimmy, which sounds funny.
Merlin + Coral = Meral
and Leto is happily single.

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

*looks left*
*looks right*

Sherc = She-Hulk and Hercules

*RUNS*

[fowl_beast]

You know, I thought the Jordan Kennedy/Bobby Drake thing was cute. Jordan probably doesn't, though :D















USS Brainfreeze
*runs*

[shinyhappygoth]

*groans and applauds*

[mnt_mike]

There's got to be a good Mel/Mike pairing name.
There's just GOT to be....

[shinyhappygoth]

Melakangelo? *scratches head*

[mmexlibris]

River/Ryan often runs together in my head. Riveryan. (They're better than bacon, you know.)

Fiona/Ramon=Ramona?

[mogget_cat]

River/Ryan = Ryven?

[mm-toaster.livejournal.com]

Bar/ Jack Sparrow = Comedy gold Barrow?

As in "She BARROWED Mike without permission."

[mnt_mike]

*spittakes*

[littlemajesty.livejournal.com]

Draco almost did this when he named his shop, only he stuck in his parents' names, too. But applying the standard shipping name rules, it wouldn't have sounded right:

Dragon light Flower of Mine
Draco Lucius Narcissa Mia

As for actually naming the Draco and Mia pair something, I haven't thought of anything.

Except maybe "Dragonbreath"... >.>

[coreenfennel.livejournal.com]

Heee! Coreen and Squirrel basically have come up with their own code word that defines them, and also translates into a hyper-specific form of 'I love you'. That being said, it's "Fennelcube." I know it sounds funny, but it fits. The Fennel family has become cubed with the addition of Ev.

Um...Antony and Cleopatra. Cleotony?

Ivy and (well, she wishes) Rachel: Vampiric Charms. heee.

Beetle, well...skipping over him.

My new pup, Edie, wants me to answer for her and Tony. She throws out, "F---ing awesome." Sorry...she's got a mouth on her. *hangs head* <3

[boundxkitty]

I think it's cheating if you use the Canon name for the two of them. =P

[newredshoes]

X-23/X5-494 is just called the Pairing of Many Numbers.

[varadia]

<3

My question: Is the Pairing of Many Numbers easier or more difficult to say than X-23/X5-494?

[skidmo]

Bearing in mind that I hate name mashups as a general rule...


Evan Lorne/Jack Harkness(original flavor) would be...Horne? Javan? Lack? (One of the most prevalent Lorne-ships in SGA fandom is Lorne/Parrish, which usually gets mushed into Porne...yes, we are all twelve.)

For the brief almost-ship that was Teyla/Kirk...Terk? Kiyla?

And for the almost-but-not-quite-okay-yes-really ship of Nikola/Yrael...Nirael? Yrola? Electric Kitty?


Possibly I hate them so much because I'm so bad at them. Hmm...

[ceitfianna]

I like Electric Kitty, it sounds like a good band name or weird eighties dance that never quite caught on.

[wakeupnew]

Sam/Freddie gets called Seddie in the iCarly fandom, which is so cutesy that every time I read it I throw up in my mouth a little, and from when I used to play Nixon, I remember that fandom's answer to Winters/Nixon (not that it was ever a millicanon pairing) was Winnix. None of the rest of my canons or characters are popular enough to have mash-up names! Yay! Well, except for the one person I saw try to call Tony/Rhodey Rhony. Or maybe it was Todey. Either way, it was bad.

(joiningyousoon -- Mayarcus or Marya.

Riley/Laini: Uh, Rini or Lailey, possibly? Both sound like girls' names.

Hellboy/Liz: ... ... Hellliz? Lizboy? Team Destruction?)

[shinyhappygoth]

Hellfire, duh. ;-)

[candied-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Momiji doesn't have much in the way of Millicanonical or canonical romance. And there really aren't enough fanworks with him for bunny-pairings to have official names.

As for the two pairings that come up the most, from what I've seen, Momiji/Tohru and Momiji/Hatsuharu...Tohriji and Momaru sound decently silly.

And, since the number of fanworks for Gilbert's canon isn't even statistically significant, I'm going to declare Gilbert/Serge from canon Sergbert (which sounds like an electrically-powered, superhero version of a Sesame Street character), while Gilbert/Auguste can be officially known as "OMGWTFNO." Which pretty much sums up all plausible reactions, there.

[ceitfianna]

Let's see my main Millicanon couple is Will and Kate and I'm really not sure. I tend to suck at these kind of names, Wate just sounds weird.

Demeter and Malcolm, Mem, Dalc, this is really hard.

The only other pairing that I have is Tom and Jane and they're canon and I don't think there's any sort of ship name for them since they're the main ship in their canon.

Over in mixed muses, my couple there actually does have a name that's James Potter and Tiwa, they're big lion and little bird.

[shinyhappygoth]

*ponders* Merry Hawk?

[misslucyjane]

When I first got into LOTRps, I kept seeing people refer to monaboyd, and it drove me crazy that people kept talking about this author but never linked to her site! I wanted to read some of Mona's stuff and see why she was such hot shit!

. . . I learned, eventually. But I think it's indicative of the issue I have with pairing mashup names: if you don't know, it marks you as an outsider, and there's enough fandom slang and terminology and whatnot that does that already. Of course, that's probably also part of the draw--it's the password into a secret club.

Whoops, I seem to have gotten some rant on everybody, sorry . . .

Anyway, certain parts of Torchwood fandom calls Jack/Ianto Janto. I have nothing to add to that--that won't get ranty again.

Apropos of nothing, I always like calling Remus/Sirius Puppy Love.

[swankyfunk.livejournal.com]

I guess Danny Butterman and Nicholas Angel would be...Buttergel.

[saphyria.livejournal.com]

Angerman!
