Object nouns consisted of two words

Is there a particular term to refer to those words(such as "cobweb page" or ""superman")?Thank you very much!

I don't know what you mean by 'object noun', but you have presented two quite different compositions. Here is a fuller range of possibilities: ' Formal page ' is an adjective + noun ' Cobweb page ' is a noun-used-as-an-adjective + noun. ' Webpage ' (a relatively new word) is a compound noun composed of two nouns.

I'm sorry but I was referring to all the word forms in general, sorry for the confusion.
