Thank you very much for these names! Anything you can find on Tumblr is very helpful for me. I'll give all of these names some checks before they're officially added, but it looks like everything you listed as "very frequent" are free except for TrainwreckShipping which was already known. Some of the others do have conflicts and I'll have to search more extensively to get a better idea of how popular they really are. Thank you again! I really appreciate any names you can find with usage.
I'm always looking for more names with real-world usage, even if you're just reinforcing names others reported it's super helpful for me! The popularity for Emmet & Piers as WhiteNoiseShipping is absolutely overwhelming so I don't think there will be any issues adding the duplicate. Thank you for letting me know! I'll look into Volo & Akari as well and see. We might wait on it a bit longer.
also hi I'm who's doing the updating
Isn't this ship name taken?
). Meanwhile SweetFrontierBrainShipping has a grand total of 3 posts in its tag on Tumblr. In fact, by all rights, this ship should be under this tag more, however some anonymous people on Tumblr have been a little... Insistent that due to this list existing that Emmet/Evelyn MUST NOT be referred to as DoubleBattleShipping. Some people out there may be afraid to post Emmet/Evelyn under DoubleBattleShipping out of fear of getting harassed by anons (and have therefore been referring to it as Emmelyn).PhotographierShipping is incredibly close to PhotographerShipping, which also involves Trip. For this reason it likely won't be added, but if you have another name for it please go ahead.
LochNessShipping is indeed already taken. Do you have another name for it?
I've dug through it a bit and this is honestly the wildest thing I've seen out of the Pokemon shipping name fandom in memory. I do appreciate others filling people in about this thread and the list in general as many users may not be aware of the project, but I certainly ask that everyone remain respectful about it. The list has never existed to or claimed to force anyone into using a particular name, and there are several historical examples of an unlisted name catching on in a community despite another name being listed (eg, SeamountShipping).So a ship that I've noticed gaining a fair bit of popularity lately due to the Subway Boss' resurgence in popularity is Emmet/Evelyn. This already has a ship name in SweetFrontierBrainShipping, however it seems that the fandom at large has rejected this name and prefers to refer to them as DoubleBattleShipping (I know that name is already taken, but the ship that it's presently for is pretty obscure and it really does seem that the fandom has spoken in terms of who they prefer to have this name). On Tumblr, the tag has about 1 and a half pages of posts (some 20 something posts) by a smattering of people, but I do know that more posts exist out there by some rather popular artists that for some reason aren't appearing in the tag (even though looking at the posts directly, they are tagged with it. Basically Tumblr's tagging system as always is broken.
Honestly, maybe Enta (CBF) & Mitsuki (CBF) should be put under MultiBattleShipping as they are apparently Multi Battle partners, no Double Battles going on here, (Also surprisingly, that ship name hasn't been taken...) leaving DoubleBattleShipping open for Emmet/Evelyn... You know... The two Double Battle specialists... (Also no one refers to the Subway Bosses nor the Battle Chatelaines as Frontier Brains.)
Sorry if I went on for a bit too long here. But hopefully you find this information at least a little useful or interesting.
I put a post out on Tumblr (as that's where I'm mostly active in fandom spaces anyway) asking if anyone else in the community at large has any other proposals or input on this whole issue. If anyone has any interesting input or suggestions, I'll be sure to report back here with them, but who knows if anything's going to actually happen over there. (But HO BOY! I did not expect such a negative first series of reactions to that post! It's not like this is a very big deal! It's just shipping name semantics! It's pretty much just a couple of clerical issues going on here, really!)
Already LavaRockShipping.
Chloe & Misty will need more research and possibly more time as it's between two of Ash's traveling companions.
I do agree that more time is needed for this to settle and I'm definitely not going to make a decision on this right now. I'll revisit this issue at the next update and either make some sort of change, decline a change, or defer again.
If I may offer my opinion on this issue: Would there be a way to document every name used for a ship? On the one hand, I worry that people would abuse the system, but on the other hand, I think that issue could be solved by emphasizing the primary purpose of having a ship list: to make it easier for people to find content of ships they like and to make it easier to blacklist content of ships they don't. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a shipping community to come up with a ton of names for one ship; if anything, that just confuses and decentralizes shipping communities. I think also, like you mentioned, prioritising input from the shippers of a ship could also be very helpful. Using only one name as the One True Name for a ship already excludes, for example, Japanese ship names (MikuNagi, DaiMiku, daburuchannpionn, etc.), and some names are just more common than what's listed on the Shipping List. The Shipping List is a database rather than a contest over who's the fastest at naming a ship.
