Today we are looking at a fun PORTMANTEAU: the combination of two names to make one. We do this with couples, and it's very common for the media to make combinations of celebrity couples' names. Here are a few. Do you know who they are?
-Brangelina

-Bennifer

-Kimye

-Billary 


Here are the couples whose names create these PORTMANTEAUS:

Brangelina: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Bennifer: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner

Kimye: Kanye West and Kim Kardashian

Billary: Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton 

If you are in a relationship, can you make a PORTMANTEAU from your names? Tell us on Facebook to make us laugh.
