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! ---

I don’t know what literary term you are talking about, but it ain’t portmanteau, which refers to _one_ word formed by the combination of two or more other words. “Gerrymander” is a classic portmanteau. ---
