💌 ‘Ship’ Name Names!

I’m not sure this idea constitutes an entire post, but I had this idea yesterday and I really want to put it somewhere!

No, I’m not asking about ship names as in boats (although, honestly… if that’s what you clicked here to comment about, I do want to hear your favorite boat names, lol!). What I mean is ‘ship’ names, as in the modern/internet way: short for ‘relationship.’ Are there any that you think sound like name names? Any that—regardless of your own emotional investment in a certain ‘ship’—really could work for a baby name? I want to hear ‘em! ‘Ships’ are such a creative way of mashing names, and maybe some gems have come from it.

I’ll start with my favorite: Emisue. The way this name is formed is a mash between Emily and Susan / Sue. (In its ‘ship’ form, its origins are from the TV series Dickinson, which is a pretty nice watch—especially for a writer.) I think she could totally work as a baby name!

Some other examples (mileage may vary in terms of their potential for the names of human children, but they do sound cool regardless):
Edissy (mix of Eddie and Chrissy, Stranger Things)
Everlark (mix of surnames Everdeen and Mellark, The Hunger Games)
Jilly (mix of James and Lily, Harry Potter)
Phlint (mix of Phil and Clint, Marvel, a fun sounding one I found looking up “shop names that sound like real names”)

If you know of any ‘ship’ names that sound cool, I want to hear them. :smiling_face: Any and all ideas, name smushes, fandoms, and ideas welcome!

omg i love the ship name bellice (bella/alice from twilight). a little girl bellice would be so cute

buddie is another personal favorite. i feel like it’s more something you would name a beagle than a person but you could perhaps get there :sweat_smile:

Emisue is a great one! And Everlark and Jilly!!

I’ve always thought ‘Lunevra’ (Lucy and [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] from [name_f]Villette[/name_f]) would make a fun and usable name - like [name_f]Lunaria[/name_f] kind of in vibe, or [name_f]Luella[/name_f]!

Oh and Natsby - I’ve always liked the sound of that - kind of bubbly and zippy. And ummm, don’t judge me for this but ‘Sheriarty’ too… (look, it’s a bit like [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] and [name_u]Sheridan[/name_u] and [name_u]Artie[/name_u] in one :person_shrugging: and reminds me of me and my friend being randomly hysterical about it one school lunch :grin:)

I’m not very into this show, but I always thought the ship name Lumity (Luz + [name_f]Amity[/name_f] from The [name_u]Owl[/name_u] House) sounds so pretty.

I think Destiel(Dean and Cas) from Supernatural could work as a name.
They don’t sound like names but I absolutely love Pepperony (Pepper and Tony) from the MCU and Swanfire(Emma and Baelfire) from Once Upon a Time

[name_f]Jilly[/name_f] and Emisue are so perfect!

[name_u]Dessie[/name_u] comes to mind from ‘Jo’s Boys’ with [name_m]Dan[/name_m] and [name_f]Bess[/name_f], (even though [name_f]Bess[/name_f] doesn’t go by [name_f]Bessie[/name_f] but it just feels right!)

Ooh, fun question!

You could get Liliam from [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] x [name_u]William[/name_u] (His [name_u]Dark[/name_u] Materials) — I think that would make a cool name?

Seconding Lumity — I’ve always loved that as a name :blush:

(And, not from a fandom, but my parents’ names smush together so perfectly!)

This is so cute to notice. :face_holding_back_tears: Malisyn, Mallyn, or Masyn would be my parents, which I quite like!

none of my favorite ships have great sounding ship names, honestly. :sweat_smile: the best i can think of is wesper (wylan and jesper from six of crows).

Destiel (Dean [name_m]Winchester[/name_m] and the angel Castiel)
Klaine (Kurt Hummel and [name_u]Blaine[/name_u] Anderson)
Finchel (Rachel [name_u]Berry[/name_u] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] Hudson)
Samwena (Sam [name_m]Winchester[/name_m] and [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] MacLeod)

Malec (Shadowhunters, [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] and Alec)

Emison (Emily and [name_f]Alison[/name_f], Gossip Girls)

Reda from TOH
Lumity from TOH
Nalu from [name_f]Fairy[/name_f] Tail
Korrasami from LOK
Reylo from [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars

Allydia - [name_u]Allison[/name_u] + [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
Hartwin - surnames [name_m]Hart[/name_m] + [name_m]Unwin[/name_m]
Benthan - [name_m]Benji[/name_m] + [name_m]Ethan[/name_m]
