In my mind, a portmanteau doesn't work if the resulting word is only one letter away from either originating words, hence me hating names like "Movember."

That one's worsened by the fact that it creates another super common word within the new word, "move." This makes it sound like it's something about moving in November, and there's no hint in the resulting portmanteau that suggests "moustache." In my eyes, this is an extra failure, and it actually irritates me when I see it mentioned because of it.
