A friend of mine is attending a dinner party where everyone has to be costumed as a celebrity portmanteau. So far, she’s come up with Ray Lewis Carroll and Lil Wayne Gretzky. I figured you guys would have fun coming up with some other suggestions for her. I’m having a hard time with female examples–the best I could come up with was Steve McQueen Latifah.
Have at it!
Ray Charles Barkely

which refers to one word formed by the combination of two or more other words.
“Gerrymander” is a classic portmanteau.

Martha Stuart Little
Elizabeth Taylor Swift

Kunilou-Walter’s last name was Payton, Manning’s 1st name is Peyton.
And Matha’s last name is Stewart. So sue me.
