Couple names are usually portmanteaus (or 'portmanteaux'), which is the name given to two words blended together to create a new word that combines the meaning of its components. These usually use the first part of one word and either the whole or second part of the other. For example, 'Brangelina' is made up of the 'Br' in 'Brad' and the whole of 'Angelina', but 'Bennifer' is made up of the 'Be' from 'Ben' and 'ennifer' from 'Jennifer'. Sometimes, the best couple name is obvious but on other occasions, you need a helping hand. Once you put your names into our generator, we try every combination then output the best. Occasionally, a couples' first names don't blend together well, so we look at surnames too.
