1) It's not Anlaf. It's Aulaf. Aud/Olaf=OTP. Unless of course you're talking about modern-day Anya/Troll!Olaf, in which case it's Trolya.
2) There's always a problem when you get to smushing pairing names for lesser-known (or ignored) characters. Case in point: Buffy/Scott Hope is Butt, which is rather unfortunate as nobody ever remembers who Scott is without the surname. But Butthope just sounds wrong, even if it may be in character for Scott given what we found out about him in s7.
3) For extra fun, imagine what happens in crossover fics. Hermillow, Janewiles, Darlash and Xender are all good and well, but just consider for instance the problem of slashing The Master (of Doctor Who) and The Master (of the Buffyerse). For those cases, I think creative mushing should be allowed (not that MaMa is any better, really).
