What's in a name

When i did my internship at F&N Coca-Cola last June, there was this funky momma brand manager. Funky as in... 30 years old, married, named her daughter Gordan (how ace is that?), has a navel piercing and two tattoos. She was very fun to share a room with and part of the reason for which is that she litters her sentences with swear words, and the CD rack on her desk has Beck, Eminem and Smashing Pumpkins CDs! (there was limp bizkit or linkin park i can't recall which but let's not go there) I don't know about you but i was like whoaaaaa... I mean, i was expecting weird toady corporates y'know?
Anywayyyyy, my point is that her name is very funky too. Rivy. And she didn't give it to herself, like some cute people do these days. Jerlynn, Ashmond, Milk (???) etc etc.
See, her name is a hybrid of her parents' names. Richard + Ivy = Rivy. Sweet, isn't it?
So ever since i've been thinking of more hybrid names. What better way to pass time while waiting for the bus.

Philip + Dorothy = Filthy
Jonathan + Candice = Jaundice
Terence + Sheryl = Terror
Cecil + Harley = Silly
Monica + Esther = Monster (no i haven't left out the lesbians)
Sebastian + Richard = Bastard (one for the gay couple too)
Leslie + Fabian... (since we're at the topic of homosexuality)

Stop me before i go nuts. Have you got any to share? *giggles*
