Well this has bugged me ever since I found out about them around 2 years ago. I've read (In Bulbapedia I think) that this phenomenon started in this fandom with "RocketShipping."

So yeah do people just randomly come up with them and submit it in the fandom until it gains acceptance? Or did someone make that list in Bulbapedia (Or that website I can't remember) / Compiled it? If so could someone please tell me who came up with them etc...(Please post here)

HARUHI SUZUMIYA (A.K.A. GOD) MADE IT.

Jkjk.
I guess someone just post on forums and the name gets known.

There's one I know: Stupid Shipping Namers - Lornami, Jorah, Azumi (LOL)

YOU FORGOT ME! I FREAKIN MADE BROKENHOPESHIPPING! >:O

To the best of my knowledge, whoever posts first somewhere in Bulbapedia gets that name stuck and the end.

But I seriously doubt there would be names for every possible character combination in the show, including polyshippings. It would take Lots of Megabytes and lots of time and we'd probably run out of dictionary words and maybe move on to numbers since those can't end :3.
