At the join, tu, a consonant meets a vowel, which usually reads cleanly and keeps the two halves distinct.

Why this name is shaped the way it is

St plus ucky. Steve gives up almost everything and the blend still reads as both, because Bucky is unusual enough to carry the rest.

What our own engine would have built

Handed Steve and Bucky with no knowledge of the fandom, the blender proposes Stecky, Stevcky, Stevky, Bucve, Steky, Buve. Stucky 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 Stucky for reasons no software can see.
