What our own engine would have built
Handed Stiles and Derek with no knowledge of the fandom, the blender proposes Stilerek, Stilrek, Dereles, Derles, Stirek, Stilek. Sterek 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 Sterek for reasons no software can see.
