Domain check
This usually takes about 2 seconds. RDAP catches the case where a domain is registered but currently has no nameservers (expired-redemption, parked, just-registered).
Every phonic in the name carries weight. Here's what each segment does — read left to right.
high, elevated
Romance feminine ending. Alta-anything reads as 'high X'.
e.g. Altavista · Alta
Latin / Italian root
Jaunty, modern, slightly informal
J is youthful, casual, modern. Jeep, Jelly, Jira. Less corporate than B; less precious than F.
e.g. Jeep · Jira · Java · Juno
Confident, open, expansive
A opens the mouth wide. Brands starting with A feel approachable and confident — Amazon, Apple, Asana, Adobe, Atlassian. The open vowel makes a name feel inclusive and platform-like.
e.g. Amazon · Apple · Asana · Adobe · Atlassian
Liquid, lifting, lyrical
L glides. The most liquid letter. Lyft, Linear, Lululemon, Loom. Brands that want to feel fluid or effortless start with L.
e.g. Lyft · Linear · Loom · Lululemon · Lego
Round, bouba, full
O is the bouba/kiki experiment's round letter — across every language tested, a round shape gets associated with O-sound. Cross-cultural roundness. Best for friendly, premium, container/orb brands.
e.g. Sonos · Roku · Volvo · Otto · Onfido
Punchy, popping, percussive
P pops. Plays well with concrete object names — Pepsi, Pixar, PowerBook, Pentium. Lexicon canonical: PowerBook = compound, Pentium = morpheme + suffix.
e.g. Pepsi · Pixar · PowerBook · Pentium · Polaroid
Young, yes, asymmetric
Y is i-mutation. Lyft from lift, Bumble carries no Y but Tumblr drops the E. Y as a brand starter is rarer — usually used as a final mutation. YouTube uses Y as 'you'.
e.g. YouTube · Yelp · Yahoo! · Yeezy · Spotify (suffix)

First-letter feeling

How we check. Step 1 (client-side): POST /api/check
with altajalopy.com. The function hashes the SLD against our bloom
filter (built daily from the .com zone). Step 2 (only if step 1 said
"not in zone"): GET /api/rdap?domain=altajalopy.com which HEADs
VeriSign's RDAP endpoint to confirm whether the domain is held at the
registry without active nameservers. Neither step logs your query.
