Structure
ichi from Ichigo, plus ihime from Orihime.
Ichigo coverage 67%
Orihime coverage 71%
At the join, ih, a vowel meets a consonant, which is the seam that most often survives being read aloud by someone seeing it for the first time.
Why this name is shaped the way it is
Orihime gives up its opening vowel and keeps hime, which happens to be the Japanese word for princess. A blend fragment that is also a real word in the source language is doing double duty, and this one landed well.
What our own engine would have built
Handed Ichigo and Orihime with no knowledge of the fandom, the blender proposes Orihihigo, Ichigrihime, Ichigihime, Orihichigo, Ichihime, Ichiihime. IchiHime is among them, which is unusual: most established ship names are not what a structural ranking would pick.
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.
