What is a ship name?
A ship name is a made-up name that joins two names into one, like a couple name. The word comes from “relationship”. Fans use ship names for couples in shows, books and games, and friends use them for real couples, best friends and teams.
The most common way to build one is to take the start of one name and the end of the other, such as Brad and Angelina becoming Brangelina. This tool tries many cut points, drops the awkward ones and shows the blends that are easiest to say.
Ship name examples
Here is how two names can blend. Every pair gives several options, so try a few before you pick.
| Names | Ship name | Style |
|---|---|---|
| Jessica + Daniel | Jessiel | Blend |
| Olivia + Noah | Olinoah | Blend |
| Sophia + Mason | Sophason | Blend |
| Hannah + Logan | Hanlogan | Blend |
| Grace + Lucas | Gracas | Short |
| Emily + Ethan | #EmilyAndEthan | Hashtag |

Tips for a great ship name
- Say it out loud. The best ship names are easy to pronounce. If you stumble, try another blend.
- Try both orders. Names often sound better one way round, so swap the boxes and generate again.
- Keep it short. Two or three syllables are easiest to remember and to use as a hashtag.
- Use a nickname. If a full name blends badly, type a short form of it instead.
- Check it before you post. Search the name once to make sure it does not mean something you do not want.
