I'm not a huge fan of portmanteaus.

Especially when they sound like a disease (Lydia is a fine name, but Teen Wolf fandom, did you have to use the 'dia' part in all her ship names?).

And while I do kind of like some of the ones you mentioned, it can sometimes be difficult to work which characters they are for. There was Sparky for Sheppard/Weir of Stargate Atlantis that I never could quite figure out.

I guess I just like the straightforwardness of CharacterA/CharacterB.

I had to google it because Sparky sounds way too dumb to be an actual ship name but according to Fanlore:

"One of the most popular names for the pairing is "Sparky," coined as a joke by Nos in the sheppard_n_weir yahoo group.[2] It caught on and is used unironically in many places. It is sometimes mistakenly attributed to a Joe Flanigan episode of Cupid, where he refers to Paula Marshall's character as "Sparky" after she admits to playing with batteries as a child."

Agreed. Just tell me who the hell this fic is about, please!

I still use CharacterA/CharacterB. It might be outdated, but everyone knows exactly who you're talking about. Ship names are mostly garbage, anyway.

Same. A large percentage of portmanteaus just sound weird, or kind of gross, or are so strange i have no clue who they're naming.
Character A/Character B is much better.

Why, does Teen Wolf have a character called Chlamy? lol.

I agree with you though. The best way is to just use the characters' names.
