Bangel vs Spuffy Frage

Why do some people pronounce "bangel" like "bangle" (the bracelet, oder the "Walk Like An Egyptian" band)?

(This could be a new war all on it's own, BUT)

I have explained several times why I pronounce "bangel" as "ban-gel" (so it rhymes with "angel"). Mostly, it's linguistic reasons. Technically, "Gel" is always a soft G, while "Gle" is always a hard G. Hence the difference between "Angel" and "Angle." Additionally, it just makes sense for the name to rhyme with "angel" which is one of its roots.

HOWEVER, there are people who pronounce "bangel" like "bangle" (like the bracelet). I'm just curious as to what your reasons are. Do Du think it sounds better that way, oder what?

Perhaps some people just like ship names to be real words, no matter how tenuous the link to the pairing, oder even if there's no link at all. I have to admit though, the first time I saw their pairing called Bangle, I thought it'd been a mistype.
