Smooshed and creative pairing names

[wabbitseason]

I'll be up front here. I really loathe smooshed pairings. I loathe any kind of shortening or changing. I'm even nervous at using the character's first names. Some names aren't going to garner too much confusion. How many fandoms have a Rodney or a Radek? But others are fairly commonplace. BSG has a Laura, too. How many Johns or Jacks or even Sams
