I'm trying to help out [profile] hawkeyecat with some stuff for her archive, so I need some help. Atm I'm trying to make a list of the short names for the different pairings, and these are the ones I've got for now:

B-eye – BJ/Hawkeye
Carkeye – Hawkeye/Carlye
Chargret – Charles/Margaret
Chaxie/Klingles – Klinger/Charles
Chawkeye – Charles/Hawkeye
Frapper – Frank/Trapper
Hawdar – Hawkeye/Radar
Hawgret – Hawkeye/Margaret
Hawkney – Hawkeye/Sidney
Hawkry – Hawkeye/Henry
Hawkcahy – Hawkeye/Mulcahy
Hawpper – Hawkeye/Trapper
Hawkxie – Hawkeye/Klinger
Hrank – Hawkeye/Frank
Klingar – Klinger/Radar

Are any of these wrong, and are there some I've forgotten or don't know?
EDIT: I've added the ones I got from [personal profile] nutmeg4077 and [profile] hawkeyesmartini

Chaxie was actually the first Charles/Klinger, created by [livejournal.com profile] chibicelchan. Also, you might want to add Hawgret, Hawdar, and Hawkney.

They are ALL wrong. They're wrong and bad and evil and wrong and of a wrongness that surpasses all wrong things everywhere INCLUDING Frank/Trapper/Radar three-ways with Mulcahy and Margaret watching and jerking each other off.

Ahem. That's all.

...Uh, why, exactly, are they wrong? They all look right to me. :)

Yay! The cutesy ship names of DOOM must die! First of all, Frank/Trapper is not Frapper. It's EH/T from Hawkeye's POV, and Frank/Trapper for the rest. Second of all, it makes us look like eight-year-old boy band fans. Third of all, it is confuzzluing as fuck. Fourth of all, they're hard to remember. Fifth of all, it divides the people who know what the names represent and the "n00bs" who don't into cliques.

Can I metaquote you?

Heh, not just the newbies. Also those of us who wandered off and poke in our heads from time to time, and get incredibly confused.

Indeed. Out of all the fandoms I'm in, I think I've only used two ship names for any of my pairings and those, at least, were relative decent (being Spuffy for the BtVS fandom and Sarkney for Alias). But, really, some of them sound absolutely ridiculous and make me cringe everytime I see them. Gah.

:cringes for good measure:

YES.

Make the pairing names stop.

Amen to that. What's wrong with writing the whole thing out? I think that, if you MUST shorten a pairing name, the rule should be whether you can say it out loud without tripping over your tongue or laughing. How can anyone write something like "Hrank" or "Frapper" without laughing at how stupid the pairing name sounds?

Would the name for my vignette be:

1. Frappedarcahyret?
2. Fradarppergretahy?
3. Ratraframarcahy?

I personally like the third one, because it trips so lightly off the tongue. :p

Hawkeye/Frank = Hrank.
Radar/Klinger = Klingar (because it sounds like either something from Star Trek or cling-wrap.)
Hawkeye/Klinger = Hawkxie (that one just looks cool)
Charles/Hawkeye = Chawkeye
Potter/anyone = no

Haha that's what I've got. There are a few more, but they're really obscure ones that have only been used once or twice. Want those?

Hawkeye/Igor = Hawkgor
Henry/Tommy Gills - Tomry
Margaret/Lorraine - Marraine
Frank/Margaret = Frargret
Trapper/Ginger = Tringer

I think that's all I've ever heard of.

Ooh, do people actually write Frank/Margaret? I think it's a far more twisted and interesting pairing than people tend to give it credit for.

I still prefer the times system - i.e. TrapXHawk.

I thought Hawkeye/Frank was Frawkeye.

Hrank just looks weird. ^_-

Out of curiosity, what would Sidney/Mulcahy be called?
