Pairing Names That Really Shouldn't Be Used (Interesting Pairing Names)

This article isn't about bad pairings. Its about pairings that have names that, as the tile suggests, really shouldn't be used. It also includes pairing names that are unsatisfactory and could do with some changes. Pairing names that are interesting or for obscure pairs are mentioned. Not all are mentioned so if our beloved readers (this means you) are dissatisfied with the list provided, suggestions to the Editor Luna is NOT going to make her cry, so please don't hesitate.

Het Pairings:

Harry/Ginny
= Hinny -Fortunately, not many people use this. Doesn't it sound like Winnie the Pooh? And how he spells "honey" as "hunny" which is only one vowel away from "Hinny". No? Never mind then.
= Gary -Has fewer users than "Hinny".
= Orange Crush -Couldn't this be used for any Weasley?

Hermione/Ron
= Heron -This is definitely a bird. "Good Ship" is understandable to an extent but Heron?

Hermione/Harry
=Pumpkin Pie -This doesn't even make sense. Why pumpkin? A more popular name for this ship is Harmony... by 88+ fanfics.

Hermione/Draco
= Leather and Libraries -There has been only four records of this being used in . The "libraries" part makes sense but "leather" doesn't. Does Draco even wear leather? Is it even possible to wear leather at Hogwarts, what with the uniform and all? Wouldn't leather robes be the weirdest thing in the world? A more popular term is Dramione. (A/N: I would discuss this but since I write Dramione, its not going to happen. Unless you want me to write about how awesome it is.)

Hermione/Snape
=Snermione -There are only two records of this. Doesn't it sound like something really disgusting and gooey that probably glows in the dark and is only spoken of during Halloween? "Buy your snermione today! Supplies Limited."

Draco/Ginny There aren't that many names for this couple. The most common one is "Fire and Ice" and there's nothing unreasonable about that.

Slash Pairings:

Harry/Ron
=Candyshipping -For those familiar with Shirley Temple... The Good Ship Lollipop song sung by her is perfect for this. Or no, it could be for a Hermione/Ron/Harry a combination of Good Ship from Hermione/Ron and Candyshipping form Harry/Ron.

Draco/Harry
=Drarry -Its understandable as to where this is coming from but something different would be nice. At least no one is using "Hraco". How would one even pronounce that?

Harry/Snape
=Snarry -Again understandable but doesn't it sound like snare-y. Like a trap? That Snape is snaring Harry!

Remus/Sirius
=Puppies -Its hard to find the number of stories with this. But its still strange. Understandable to a point... but strange... Is it implying something? Werewolf-Black Dog cross breeding? -Shudders- Another one is "Wolfstar". That one is quite nice. A play-on of Sirius, the dog constellation and Remus the Werewolf.

Draco/Snape
=Snaco -This definitely sounds like a company or brand name. Snaco Petroleum-One stop for gas and food.

Snape/Lupin
=Snupin -This definitely sounds like a verb tense of "snoop". Like "I was snupin around..."

Snape/Sirius
=Snack -Enough said. There are 15 stories on with this. Snack... really? Are they going to EAT each other? This is so random!

Albus(Dumbledore)/Gellert(Grindelwald)
=Grindeldore -Doesn't it sound like a mathematician or scientist? "Okay class, we'll be studying Grindeldore's Theory..."

Fred/Geore
=Twincest -This one is actually clever and we just had to throw it in there.

Draco/Lucius
=Malfoycest -It was funny the first time... Malfoycest sounds like a bad copy of twincest.

Regulas(Black)/Sirius(Black)
=Blackcest -This is definitely annoying... It must be a series thing...

Bill(Weasley)/Charlie(Weasley)
=Weasleycest -Yup you guessed it, Weasleycest, its definitely a series thing.

Lucius/Snape
=Snucius - Snooze-ius. Maybe Snape only talks about potions and puts Lucius to sleep? Or perhaps being Death Eaters, there's not many options to sleeping and they get it when they can?

We, the staff at Quibbler, hope you enjoyed this random and pointless bit of writing. Cheers!

A/N: I hope no one thinks I'm trying to write a humorous piece, because I'm not. Its just random. Enough said. Review! (Reviews can be random too in the spirit of things!)
