so... I know that some people find these extremely annoying, but I'm just curious. Is there an offical one for booth and brennan? i know angela and hodgins have been dubbed "hodgela" but my #1 shipping couple has yet to be named.

The one I have heard the most is "Semperance" (Seeley and Temperance) and my friend and I made up "Boones" (Booth and Bones). Also, (especially on fanfiction) BB, b/b, or just bb have been used.

So does anyone like these or know of any that I have yet to learn of? Thanks. :D

	keepxonxtrying said: vampireGirl: i think semperance is pretty too! but... it seems too formal for them now. i think if they actually get together during the show it would be a really fitting name for them. :) and i agree. they do need an official name! i'm tired of always having to say Booth and Brennan. heeeresjoyce: yeah i love Boones! hehe. personally, i think it really fits the two of them. posted 2 months ago.

	VampireGirl said: ya, like for now, since they arent together, semperance may not work. for the reasons you said, when they do get together i think itll work really well posted 2 months ago.

	Michellebob said: Ya i just say BB. I like Boones but only for writing down. People in the street would think you were a bit mad talking about Boones! :) posted 2 months ago.

	VampireGirl said: ya, it sorta sounds like booze, and i dont think people like go around saying "booze are meant for each other" and stuff like that, lol i've been thinking of all the possibilites: breeley semperance boones sones(kinda weird i know) and thats all i can think of right now posted 2 months ago.

	heeeresjoyce said: Hmmm...Brooth? Lol that's kinda weird...uhh...Boen? I'm not very good at this. I kinda like Breeley, though, VampireGirl. posted 2 months ago.

	VampireGirl said: thanks, me too. ya im not too good at it either lol. my favorites are semperance and breeley posted 2 months ago.

	keepxonxtrying said: hahahah. brooth? broothen? boothen? breeley? boones? boen? seriously other couple are so much easier to name like huddy and merder and jate. grr... i was trying to think of one like PB&J (Pregnant Babe & Junkie from Lost or Pam Beesley & Jim from The Office) but i can't think of one. Both of them are "FA's"! Brennan: Forensic Anthropologist Booth: FBI Agent :\ posted 2 months ago.

	ebathory said: I like Breeley too. keepxonxtrying - You could call them SAD (Special Agent + Docter) he he or :-( for short. Or FABBO kinda like fabulous (Fbi Agent Booth + BOnes) okay now I'm just being ridiculous posted 2 months ago.

	VampireGirl said: maybe we should keep it simple...lol posted 2 months ago.

	ebathory said: Ah B&B is simple and everyone knows what it means maybe we just keep it at that... posted 2 months ago.

	VampireGirl said: hmmm i dunno.... posted 2 months ago.

	keepxonxtrying said: i know BB is the most simple but saying it outloud... "BB"... idunno it just doesn't sound adorable or catchy. but don't get me wrong i LOVE writing it all over my homework and my teachers are always asking what bb is. hahaha. i think i like boones the most. ... posted 2 months ago.
