Thinking about a perfect pairing (ship) name for any fandom or just for loving couple? Don’t know how to name your OTP? Then you will like my app! Just enter two names and the Fandom Ship Names Generator will combine them and generate a list of Ship Names for you to choose from. Fans or fan communities often develop different naming practices for ship names in their fandom although these practices overlap, change and spread into other fandoms. The most popular practice to generate ship names is combining parts of characters’ (couple) names. Very often a pairing is given a name generated by combining the letters of the two characters' names. This is used in many fandoms (by TV Shows fans, Japanese fandoms, on Tumblr and even outside fandom) and is called portmanteau (OTP names are combined (or "smooshed") to form one word). Ship Names Generator is based on this practice and is a powerful tool making generating ship name for any fandom very easy and fun. Just enter two names and it will combine them and generate a list of Ship Names for you to choose from! After you select a Ship Name you can copy it to clipboard, share on Facebook and Twitter, through Messages and Mail. Ship Names keeps an editable history of the generated names you shipped so that you can easily recreate them. You can generate Ship Names for: - You and your significant other (couple name is very cute not only for girlfriend and boyfriend but married couples too) - Friends and family - Coworkers - Favorite characters in a book or movie (or your fandom) - Favorite Hollywood couples - Pets - OTP's (be original on Tumblr!) in your fandom - Superheroes and villains - World leaders - Sports athletes - And much more name pairings! Ship names generator may be used for a variety of purposes, such as: - To label a particular fanwork - To describe all fanworks featuring that ship - Community and event names - Tags on Pixiv, Tumblr, Twitter, or other multi-fannish sites - To help shippers in fandom identify each other Ship Names generator is completely free!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fandom Ship Names Generator at none against TypeStory's 1. Fandom Ship Names Generator also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). TypeStory's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (3K vs 48). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TypeStory holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TypeStory has 3K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Fandom Ship Names Generator's written reviews are positive against 63% of TypeStory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fandom Ship Names Generator ships an update every 4 months, TypeStory every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
