I don't think I made up this one for my brother and his wife, but it's a good one: Bill & Hilde = Bilde. Other family name combos are: Owen, Angie & Julia = Owangia. Graham & Amanda = Gramanda. Try it! It's fun to come up with combinations that flow off the tongue with ease.

zeugma - using a word with others so that it has a different sense with each one.
Here's a famous use of zeugma by Groucho Marx in Duck Soup (1933): "You can leave in a taxi. If you can't get a taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that's too soon, you can leave in a minute and a huff."
