ship name

Vessel's given title

A ship name is a combined name for two characters (or sometimes real people) imagined as a romantic couple by fans.

The term comes from "relationship," and ship names typically blend the individuals' names: Brangelina for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Destiel for Dean and Castiel from *Supernatural*.
