Nominal Charge

From this article on a list of phrases that people would like to see disappear in 2007:

"The list gave short shrift to media shorthand for celebrity duos such as 'TomKat,' for the union of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, and 'Brangelina,' for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

How would 'Lardy' have sounded as a nickname for long-ago comedians Laurel and Hardy, or 'BogCall' for Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, the list's compilers asked."

1) Laurel and Hardy weren't a couple.
2) BogCall? Nonono, they were obviously HumpBac.
