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 [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and [name_f]Susan[/name_f] / [name_f]Sue[/name_f]. (In its ‘ship’ form, its origins are from the TV series [name_m]Dickinson[/name_m], 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 [name_u]Eddie[/name_u] and [name_f]Chrissy[/name_f], Stranger Things)
Everlark (mix of surnames [name_f]Everdeen[/name_f] and Mellark, The Hunger Games)
[name_f]Jilly[/name_f] (mix of [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_u]Harry[/name_u] Potter)
Phlint (mix of [name_u]Phil[/name_u] and [name_m]Clint[/name_m], [name_u]Marvel[/name_u], 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. :relaxed: Any and all ideas, name smushes, fandoms, and ideas welcome!
