Summer Camp Chronicles: What's your "ship" name?

Normally I save my summer camp post for August, but this group is already quite vivacious.

Last week, my girls educated me on "Ship" names.  "Ship" is short for relationship.  You would think that you only get a ship name if you are actually in a relationSHIP.  But no...it apparently does not quite work that way...

The rules of "ship" names (as told by 8th grade girls)

You can have a "ship" name if ANY of the following apply

  • You like a guy
  • A guy makes it known that he likes you
  • A guy likes you, but you don't like him
  • is actually your boyfriend
  • "Ship" names are best when the ending combination is something cute, or actual word.   


Dan + Tori= Dori  
This example was followed by, "Awwww!  And then they should go see Finding Dory!  That would be like, so adorable!"
  • "Ship" names are NOT good if they sound like a disease or if your names just don't "flow" nicely.  

Michael + Jennifer = Mennifer?  Jenichael?  Michifer?
Who knew I would learn so much during my first week of camp?
