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.

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
Decisive, definite
D is B's gentler cousin. Decisive but not aggressive. Used in consumer trust brands (Dropbox, Dasani, Dell).
e.g. Dropbox · Dasani · Dell · Duolingo · Discord
agent, doer (feminine in Latin)
X-ending — Placek's fast-and-crisp. -ix compounds feel agentive. Netflix = net + flix (riff on flicks).
e.g. Netflix · Asterix · Matrix · Citrix
Latin root
Pairs earpodix with classical suffixes (-ex, -ius, -ium, -on), morphemes from the bank (ver-, lex-, pro-), and vowel mutations — then bloom-checks every candidate against the live .com zone file. Up to 400 candidates per click; only the available ones land here.

First-letter feeling
E-onset: Bright, technological, small/precise
E reads as 'electronic' to a generation raised on e-commerce. eBay, Etsy, Excel. Front vowels make things feel small and quick.

How we check. Step 1 (client-side): POST /api/check
with earpodix.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=earpodix.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.
