An amalgamated name is a name that is formed by combining several previously existing names. These may take the form of an acronym (where only one letter of each name is taken) or a blend (where a large part of each name is taken, such as the first syllable).
For example (twilight one): [name]Renesmee[/name]
A Portmanteau word is used to describe a linguistic blend, namely "a word formed by blending sounds from two or more distinct words and combining their meanings, a portmanteau word is typically formed by combining two or more existing words that all relate to a singular concept which the portmanteau word is meant to describe, such as Spanish and English, into Spanglish ?
Or Like another twilight example: [name]Carlisle[/name] & [name]Charlie[/name] bella and edwards fathers the names created renesmee’s middle name carlie…
My friend named her daughter [name]Kylie[/name]. Which is a combination of her name, [name]Allison[/name] (nn [name]Allie[/name]), and the father’s name, [name]Kyle[/name].
I’m really not a fan of it at all honestly. She came around to it at the last minute because they couldn’t decide on any other name.
I’m all for honoring family, but this particular practice just seems lazy to me. Same thing with going with [name]Junior[/name]. There are far more creative ways to honor family in naming these days.
[name]Just[/name] my opinion.

Ugh, let’s hope nobody catches wind of these and bestows them on official birth certificates. But, yes, it does look fun to see what everyone comes up with. Let’s see… how about: (Warning: feminissima alert! This is all done tongue-in-cheek though.)
Eloren ([name]Elodie[/name] and [name]Lauren[/name])
Rosadelia ([name]Rosalie[/name] and [name]Cordelia[/name])
Melanina ([name]Melanie[/name] and [name]Nina[/name])

Eliselena ([name]Elise[/name] and [name]Selena[/name])
and muddling two Nameberry darlings… Maeveasina ([name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Thomasina[/name])
[name]Chad[/name] and I were joking about once, trying to think of what names we could create by combining our names somehow, and we realized combining the last three letters of mine with the first two of his makes Retch.
My friend often jokes about naming her future sons Kenjamin ([name]Kenneth[/name] & [name]Benjamin[/name]) and Jimothy ([name]Jim[/name] & [name]Timothy[/name])
This is why I love anime so much: when you ship characters you get to make up these names.
