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

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:
