exonym 

the name foreigners use to describe a country or city

in contrast to endonym -- the name the natives use

exonym example...IRELAND (pronounced IRE-LAND) an appropriate EXONYM as they are always so bloody angry -- and ironically somebody will probably be angry that it has been pointed out to them

endonym example...ERIE (pronounced ERROR) an appropriate ENDONYM to acknowledge their mistake in leaving the United Kingdom

emonym 

e-mo-nym (ih-moh-nym)

noun
A word that elicits the same emotional feeling as another. As such, it is subjective. A dictionary of emonyms is called an emotional thesaurus.

A word that is offered in response to the question, "What's the first word that comes to mind when you hear 'x'?" The word offered is the responder's emonym for "x".

Origin: 2012-2013; blend of emotional and synonym.

Because of their political affiliations, John and Jane have different emonyms for "Obama". John's emonym is "hero" and Jane's is "loser."

Hip-eponymous 

Cool People, or Hipsters, who belong to an Eponymous Society, where all members have the same name. Hip-eponymous is the next logical step to Googling your own name. You find and friend everyone with your name, and start a group, such as the "Your Name" Society.

I have my own Hip-eponymous group on FaceBook, everyone has the same name as me. ^_^

elonym 

(electronic + Gr. onyma, name; cf. pseudonym, synonym) -- electronic name; the part of electronic address that precedes the sign @.

In our university mail system, all elonyms are made from the first name initial plus the surname minus last letter. My elonym is bjohnso (Bill Johnson).

His elonym is as enigmatic as he is himself: aaa314. Clearly he claims to be alpha, not omega.

para-eponym 

A regular eponym is something named after a person, such as nehru jacket, boycott, volt, bloomer, gerrymander and quisling. A para-eponym is something named after a variation on a person's name, and can be a noun, adjective or verb.

Two para-eponyms are Count Chocula (from Count Dracula) cereal and Cherry Garcia (from Jerry Garcia, a musician favorite of Ben and Jerry) ice cream.

extonym

A word that is an irregular extension or formation of an existing word in order to imply extra connotations or suggest further associations from the meaning of the root word. Like the words synonym, antonym and homonym, the word extonym is derived similarly: Ext- (extend) + "onyma" (Greek for "name").

An extonym for the word "moustache" is "moustachioed", e.g. a "moustachioed" man is not simply a man with a moustache but implies the moustache is the defining feature of his character.

An extonym for the word "speech" is "speechifying", e.g. "The politician finished speechifying the audience and quickly left." Therefore the politician does not simply make a speech but the connotations are that the giving of the speech was the function of the politician's role, not intended sincerely, and in turn the audience has tolerated this ritual with a suggestion it has been covered in an aural equivalent of bulldust.

An extonym for the word "feral" is "feralated", e.g. "The shoppers went wild at the Xmas sale, leaving the shop assistants feralated by the end of the morning." The implication is that the shop assistants have not simply been tested by heavy traffic but the normally domesticated shoppers have been so wild that the shop assistants have been wrung out, if not personally violated, by the abandonment of civilised standards.
