Apparently my sense of humour is stuck in five-year-old mode, because I do use the smooshed names mainly cos I find them funny. Clex, as mentioned, does lend itself to all sorts of fun words like Clexactly and Clexciting. I hate the pairing itself, but love saying Lantha because it sounds like the slightly less monstrous Bantha (of Star Wars). To detour briefly into another fandom, isn't Spike/Buffy Spiffy?

And yes, I giggle at Clitney. (More like 13-year-old humour there, but who's counting?) I don't really like the idea of Lex/Hamilton, but it amuses me that if they got together -- since the good doctor's first name is Steven -- it would bring new meaning to Sex.

But I won't try too hard if there's not a funny new name to be made out of the two partners'. I mean, seriously, how would you combine "Jonathan" and "Lionel" and not have it look silly in an unfunny way?

You were right to be offended when your and your ex's names were smooshed together, because the context of that was completely different. But these are fictional characters, after all, no matter how real they sometimes seem to us, and if it's all in good fun? Hey, if I wasn't having fun, I wouldn't be here.

For some reason Buffy/Spike is either Spuffy or Bike, apparently there is a difference, but I'm not sure what it is.

I'm not really considering my situation with my ex and the characters as the same, I was just throwing that in as background info about my pet peeve.

And really, it's just my little pet peeve. I've always been irked by smooshed together names, it doesn't run along my style of humor, and many times I just can't stand the way they sound.

So you know, personal issue. And I'm not humorless, but that sort of thing doesn't run along my sense of humor. I have a very strange sense of humor.

I know people say Spuffy, but Spiffy is funnier. (Or, actually, it's funny, whereas Spuffy isn't.) Bike? As in, what Buffy would need like she needs Spike, if she were a fish?

I understand about the personal peeve. And humour is much more subjective than people generally want to admit; look at how many people don't find, for example, Monty Python or the films of Kevin Smith amusing, or conversely, how many people are amused by the likes of Tom Greene. (And I'm betting you'll disagree with me on at least one of those.)

Wait! There are people out there that don't find Monty Python funny? Or Kevin Smith? These people must be unhinged.

I've never really watch Tom Greene so I can't offer up an opinion.
