I love "smooshed" names and am sure I am probably forgetting some.

I really like the name Cassibella (Cassie + Bella), but wouldn't actually use it.

I think they can be pretty cool. I can't think of any I like off the top of my head, except Annemarie, but I would consider that a compound name and not exactly what you're looking for.

---

I went to school with a girl who had a little brother named Jaymond. Don't like it, but real life example.

I'm not really into the smushed name look. They just don't look "right" to me. Having said that, I do like:

---

Annabella
Annalisa, Anneliese
Marisa
Rosanna, Rosemarie, Rosemary

This is spooky!

---

I was just thinking about making a post like this! :D

---

I'm not very much into blended names, but there are a few I like:

---

Coraline - does this count?
Marlotte - from Maria and Lotte
Rosabeth
Ysanne - may be a combo of Ysabel and Anne?

---

Made up by me:
Lisabella
Carolisa
Mirandine (Miranda + Amandine)
Mimika (Mimi + Annika)
Jonnabeth (Johanna + Elisabeth)

Marylise or Maryliese

I used to smush family names (first and middle of a single person) to see if there were any that would be cool for honoring...except I fully intended never to use them because I had made them up. I think some could be good for fantasy stories though.

---

Examples:
Kevin Lynn = Kevilyn / Kevilynn
Donna Jean = Donnean
Clinton Kevin = Clinin? Cliven? Clevin? (Never could come up with a decent sounding one for him)
Eric Clayton = Eriton

---

My favorites are Julianne and Marylou. Marylou might not count, though.

---

Off the top of my head I just came up with Sylvianne which I kind of like! ETA: Ha, looks like I did not actually invent this one.

---

Gah, others because I'm bored:
Chardelia
Claudelia
Kateresa
Opheliane
Jeanalice
Junevelyn

---

ETA 2: Laurinda/Laurina!

I have always liked Lilibeth. It seems so innocent and sweet.

---

Nichelle and Adamaris seem lovely as well.

---

My husband adores his sister's name, Rochie, which is a combo of Roberto and Conchita. He also likes Cristofel (his brother's name) which is a smush of family names too.

---

Of those you mentioned, Adeliza and Elizabel are adorable. I tend to be more appreciative of smushing female names for some reason.

---

Edlin is the only smoosh names for a boy that I have heard and liked, honestly.

I like
* I made up (well, thought of myself - they may well have already been thought of)
Jolene
Jareth
Alexanne*
Annaliese
Miabella
Caramia
Jayden
Kerianne
Kiriana
Maryanne
Marybeth

A merge of my paternal grandmothers names Mary Eliza

I like Annabeth a lot. I can't really think of any other blended names I like. Most of them are pretty bad, IMO.

I don't enjoy them much. Had a colleague once who was Maria Elisabeth Helena; she used her nn, Marelna, as her elder daughter's full and only name. Didn't like that much.

---

I once invented Susianne, as a variant of Susannah with a nod to Marianne. I like it, but I don't expect it to hit the charts any time soon.

---

Now for the horrors. The merging of names (like Runine from Rudolf and Janine) is pretty ordinary in South Africa. Nobody finds it odd. But some work better than others.

---

There's a golf tournament here that's just finished. Mostly local players, including one bloke who did quite well. Ln doesn't matter; fn is Bryandrew.

---

And, similarly, there was a pretty good male dancer in the local ballet world, now retired. His name is Kimbrian, and I always assumed that it was like Cambrian with a Ki instead of the Ca, but then I met someone who knew him personally. Turns out it's kimBRIEan, as if the names were hyphenated (think Anne-Marie).

---

Finally, another colleague in another job named her daughter Louchelle. That's right, Louise plus Michelle. She had another daughter whose name I once knew but my mind has rejected it, which probably means it was more, er, different than Louchelle!

I'm partial to Marlene!

Marianne is a favorite, and I've recently discovered Adalind, which I quite like (not surprising, given how much I like Ada and Rosalind and the combo Ada Rosalind). Mattimeo is a smush name that I've liked since a child reading Redwall. I also like:

---

Mariléne
Lieselotte
Anneliese
Elizabel

---

I like Celinda too, now that you mention it, although I prefer Celinde (I know a Dutch woman with this name and love it on her).

I love Anneliese/Annelise, like Marianne, and am neutral on Annemarie. I think that's about it, though. I tend to dislike smush names. They look so...well, smushed.

I have a deep and abiding love for Annegret and no one shall sway me otherwise. >:I There's something quirkily captivating about Liselotte, as well.

---

A few years ago, I made a typo and created/discovered Kimberlyn. I didn't like it and still don't, but I did wonder why it wasn't used more, because the -lyn suffix is so popular and it just seems like such an easy jump to make.

---

Smashing names is something that I'd like to do but somehow never get around to attempting. Someday I'll have to fill a folder with smushed names, but right now, at the top of my head...

---

Georlina (Georgia + -lina)
Nathanielias (Nathaniel + Elias. Obviously)
Fleursula (Fleur + Ursula)
Marteodor Marten + Teodor)
Solohannes (Solomon + Johannes)
Coracent (Cora + Millicent because why not)
Alnyxa (Alexa + Nyx??? I dunno)

---

It's kinda late and I'm pretty tired so I'm not claiming any of these as being good or "logical", and I fully admit that they are ridiculous. :P

Alexandrew.

Annegret - a combo of Anne and Margaret.

I have three ancestors born in the 1000's named Adeliza, so that isn't a blended name, even though to a lot of people it seems like one. I don't think of Kyler as a blended name, just Tyler with a K, like Caden is Aiden with a C.

---

I'm not a fan of smushed names. But, since Marlene is so well known but not as a smush, I'm okay with it.
