What our own engine would have built

Handed Brienne and Jaime with no knowledge of the fandom, the blender proposes Brienme, Jainne, Brieme, Briennme, Jaimnne, Jaimne. Braime 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 Braime for reasons no software can see.
