Aang coverage 100%
At the join, aa, two vowels meet, which leaves the boundary ambiguous and invites more than one pronunciation.
Why this name is shaped the way it is
Kata plus ang, with the two names overlapping on the a. Blends that share a letter at the seam fuse more smoothly than blends that do not.
What our own engine would have built
Handed Katara and Aang with no knowledge of the fandom, the blender proposes Aantara, Aatara, Katang, Aanara, Katarng, Katng. Kataang 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 Kataang for reasons no software can see.
