What our own engine would have built
Handed Zuko and Katara with no knowledge of the fandom, the blender proposes Zuktara, Katarko, Katako, Zutara, Zukara, Katko. Zutara is among them, which is unusual: most established ship names are not what a structural ranking would pick.
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.
