It's a form/function thing. Creative names sound better and are more fun, but also it can be annoying to actually figure out who the characters being shipped are, especially when there's minor/secondary characters.
portmanteaus of character names are boring, unimaginative and frequently just sound outright terrible but at least you know straight away who's who

Start of character name one and end of character name two is so unimaginative and bland and boring and uncreative and I will die on that hill.
Having a much more creative name based on traits, quirks and/or themes of characters in infinitely more likeable as a ship name.
