Engine version 1.0 · Breakdown computed from the live checker · Research Desk
Structure
The checker cannot resolve the opening of this name against James and Lily. 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 James and the whole of Lily. This is about as lopsided as a widely used blend gets, and it works because the J is distinctive.
What our own engine would have built
Handed James and Lily with no knowledge of the fandom, the blender proposes Lilmes, Jamely, Jamly, Limes, Liles, Jaly. Jily 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 Jily 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.

Questions
What does Jily mean?
Jily is the ship name for James and Lily from Harry Potter. A ship name is a nickname for a pairing, and shipping means wanting two characters to be together.
Who is Jily?
Jily is not a person. It refers to James and Lily as a pairing, which is how fandom communities talk about two characters together in one word.
How was Jily formed?
Not by blending the two names. Built by joining a piece of one name to a piece of the other. That is why a name checker cannot trace it back to James and Lily.
