I think it could well be a mash-up or “smoosh” name. This has been common in Mormon/LDS world for a long, long time. I have Mormon relatives in their 60s and 70s with smoosh names. When someone with a smoosh name is paired with someone else with a smoosh name for a whole new smoosh name, the fun goes on and on! ;)
Actually, it’s really quite interesting. If anyone here hasn’t checked out the Utah Baby Namer, you’re in for a treat.

I invented my own Mormon smush name based on my parents names because I think that is where a lot of their smush names stem from. I quite like what I came up with, Bevricka lol

Love it. ;)
Mine would be... Jilrey? Jillrey? Jeff and Jill are hard to smoosh!
With my grandparents —
Lafeta (oh dear. Lafe/Loeta)
Mary Frances? Not very Mormon. Marankjane? (Mary Jane & Frank. Mary Jane went by Mary in her family and Jan to almost everyone else)
