    Nothing, really, but Pokéshipping sounds quite unoriginal. I feel it should be Ash X Pikachu or something else involving Pokémon, but it sounds very unoriginal.

    Giovanni x Ariana is also known as Mafiososhipping... and unlike most ships that gain two names, with the latter eventually being nixed, it's there to stay.
    Unlike the usual nixed second name, though, Mafioso and its cousins are only recognized unofficially. Just noting that.

    another contribution to this thread:
    sleazeshipping for petrel/clair... and it was one of my submissions :/

    Like I am just noting to you that it's listed as Mafiashipping in the Untouchables section. ;D

    Red/Hilda.

    I don't really like the name UroborrusShipping (or however it's spelled). Flagshipping doesn't sound too bad, though.

    ChestShipping - Kasumi (Misty) x Kanna (Lorelei)

    I know that Kasumi likes to stare at Kanna's chest in the anime, but with the ship named just like that they totally sound like a superficial couple. Couldn't it have been something a bit more thoughtful? Like, for example, it could have been something based off the fact that Kasumi's title is Tomboy Mermaid and Lorelei is the name of a siren.

    Considering 1) creativity was lacking at the beginning and 2) no one had any reason to believe this would be a /thing/ (and bonus secret 3) they were two chicks and lesbians are hott, especially if it seems like legit lesbian-hots were had)....it could have been far, far worse.

    Ah, I see now. I haven't been in the shipping fandom for that long so I didn't know how things were at the start. Oh well, I guess we can't help it.

    I just checked on the list out of curiosity. Oh my... I feel sorry for who actually supports that ship in a serious way.

    OhMyGoshShipping....love the ship, hate the name ;3

    "Hey Autumn, what ship do you like?"

    Like I don't wanna be like "OhMyGoshShipping!"
    That and I don't feel like explaining why it's called that. But on the other hand, what else would it be called...?

    Help the cause and ship this ship!!

    NamelessShipping. It's the most epic/classic yaoi shipping of them all, has a huge following on Pixiv, and yet it's called nameless. Couldn't they have come up with a more tasteful name than that?

    That was...my fault. And I beg utter forgiveness for it.

    But it honestly was nameless. For ten-ish years. It did not have a name.

    I think it piggybacked Originalshipping and Palletshipping? Game!Red/Blue wasn't that big a couple in the West, iirc (because Pallet and Original and somehow game characters are all interchangeable [no they aren't *puff*]), until FRLG.


    On a separate subject, I loathe the name Brickshipping (Marshal/Drayden), because I thought of a better (and all kinds of perfect) one just an update too late. TT^TT *yeah, named that*
