-Shipping Name Origin

Unlike many other Pokémon pairings, both known -shipping names for Guzma/Nanu are rarely used by shippers. The first to be coined was DourFacadeShipping, sometime between the beginning of November and 31 December 2016 for the Neverending Romance ship name list. Among shippers, however, the portmanteaus GuzNanu and/or Nanuzma were used, with DourFacade rarely, if ever, seen.

Later, on 20 March 2019, crazydane666 would coin "AgainstRulesShipping," which has seen some use.
