At the join, pi, a consonant meets a vowel, which usually reads cleanly and keeps the two halves distinct.
Why this name is shaped the way it is
The pairing behind this one predates the blended-name habit itself; Star Trek fan communities of the 1970s are where shipping as a practice is usually traced to. The blend is Sp plus irk, five letters, and both openings survive because Sp and K are each distinctive enough to carry a whole name.
What our own engine would have built
Handed Spock and Kirk with no knowledge of the fandom, the blender proposes Spork, Spocrk, Kick, Kirck, Spok, Spock. Spirk 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 Spirk for reasons no software can see.
