Structure
The checker cannot resolve the opening of this name against Buffy and Angel. That is the right answer rather than a failure: built by joining a piece of one name to a piece of the other.
Why this name is shaped the way it is
One letter from Buffy, all of Angel. It reads instantly and it also reads as the word bangle, which is the collision risk every short blend runs. This one survived because the community using it already knew what it meant.
What our own engine would have built
Handed Buffy and Angel with no knowledge of the fandom, the blender proposes Buffngel, Angeffy, Bufgel, Buffgel, Bufngel, Angffy. Bangel is not among them. That is the normal result, and it is the clearest illustration of why this site refuses to call any candidate the best one. A community picked Bangel for reasons no software can see.
If you want to run the same check on a name of your own, the draft checker does exactly what produced the breakdown above, and the ship name generator builds candidates from two names you supply.
