a collector of key rings, according to one of those lists of collectors. many teenage girls seem to be copoclephiles, if we are to have faith in this word. the derivation seems to be left as an exercise for the student.

Maybe (from a far-from-Latinist):

Cle related to (Spanish) Clave, "key"
Copo related to copulate, "to join"
