What Are Couple Nicknames?
Couple nicknames, often called "ship names" from "relationship", are blended names made from two people's names. They're popular in fan culture for celebrity or fictional couples, and many real-life couples use them too. They're a playful way to celebrate your bond or to use on social media.
Our generator creates several options from the two names you enter. You can try different orders (Name A + Name B vs Name B + Name A) to get more ideas. Pick your favorite and use it wherever you like.
How to Use Your Couple Nickname
Once you have a nickname you like, you can use it in bios, on gifts, or when talking about your relationship. Some couples use it as a hashtag or as a name for a shared account. It's all about what feels right for you two.
