Ship Name Generator

About Ship Names

A "ship name" (short for relationship name) is a portmanteau created by blending two names together. This practice became popular in fandoms and celebrity culture to refer to romantic pairings or close relationships.

Famous Ship Name Examples:

  • Brangelina: Brad Pitt + Angelina Jolie
  • Bennifer: Ben Affleck + Jennifer Lopez
  • TomKat: Tom Cruise + Katie Holmes
  • Kimye: Kim Kardashian + Kanye West

How It Works:

The generator creates multiple combinations by:

  • Combining the first half of one name with the second half of another
  • Blending starting letters with ending letters
  • Creating various portmanteau combinations
  • Filtering out combinations that are too short or awkward

Common Uses:

  • Create couple names for relationships
  • Generate friendship duo names
  • Fandom shipping names
  • Social media hashtags
  • Fun group names
  • Celebrity couple references

Tips for Best Results:

  • Try both orders (Name A + Name B, and Name B + Name A)
  • Choose the combination that sounds most natural
  • Consider which combination is easier to pronounce
  • Pick names that blend well phonetically
