-Shipping Name Origin
Steven/Zinnia's ship name has somewhat of an odd history. WhisperstoneShipping was coined first, by Tomiko on Serebii.net on 17 November 2014.[1] The name most used by shippers, "MetalDragonShipping," was also coined around the same time on social media and was widely in use by 24 December 2014[Notes 1], it was just never submitted to be considered "official" on the Neverending Romance ship list.
As of the 2020s, MetalDragon is considered an 'untouchable" ship on the list -- ship names that aren't official but have a long history of being used.
