There are a ton of UC or unconventional couple fan groups, and each group has at least one name created by the fans. Some UC couples have several names.
Many UC couples had sites dedicated to them and fanfic written about them, but by far the two most popular UC couples are Polar (Michael & Liz) and Awakened Dreamer (Zan & Liz). Tons of fanfic exists that feature both couples, and they both still have a loyal fanbase.
Overwhelmingly, Conventional couple or CC fans are a much bigger group than Unconventional couple or UC fans. Although the CC ships Stargazer and Lamptrimmer have always been small, and I'll bet the larger UC groups are at least as big if not bigger.
The polularity of various UC ships has gone up and down, but UC fans have really hung in there over the years.
I am not going to discuss every UC grouping here, but concentrate on the few that I have items saved for. If anyone has additional info, please send it in.

Really?
I am asked all the time about if anyone was seriously a fan of some of these UC ships, like Liz/River Dog. I would say probably not. I dare anyone to come up with a link to a Liz/River Dog fic or fan site. I've never seen one.
I'll bet most of the UC ships didn't have many if any followers. I believe it is likely that many of the UC ships that have been named may have had people discussing, or more likely joking about them at one time and that is how they were named. No fanfiction ever existed for the ship and most likely no fan groups or websites did either.
I know I've had discussions where you get kind of silly and start thinking up pairings and funny or clever names to go with them. We weren't fans of the pairing and never had any intention of writing anything or supporting the ship. It was more of a 'what if' thing. Just for fun.
A perfect example is the ship that I named - Alien Hunters (Hubble/Jim Valenti Sr). I was discussing Hubble and Valenti Sr with someone, and the ship name just came to me. I don't ship slash at all, and have no desire to imagine either Hubble or Valenti Sr 'getting it on' with anyone, I just thought the ship name was appropriate.
So here is a list of UC ships that I know had fans or fanfic written about them. As you can see it is a lot smaller than the amount of ship names. Granted, I don't know everything, but if there were things out there about other ships it was pretty small.
