-Shipping Name Origin
The first name coined for Gordie/Raihan was MidgardsormrShipping , coined by Kyuu-Tales for the Neverending Romance ship name list on 02 December 2019.[1] However, this name never caught on with shippers even though there was no common -shipping name for Gordie/Raihan until years later, when "GargoyleShipping" was coined, sometime on or shortly after 21 October 2024 by deerdeardarling on Tumblr.[2]
SandstormShipping has also been proposed, though it sees less usage and is the name of a much more popular Ninjago pairing, Cole/Morro.[3]
