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.
Smooth, frictional, friendly
F flows. Less attention-grabbing than B or K, but warm. Facebook, FedEx, Figma — F can either soften the front (Figma) or pair with an explosive ending (FedEx).
e.g. Facebook · Figma · FedEx · Ford · Flickr

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
sound, audible quality
S is noisy (Placek) — fitting for audio brands. Sonos = son + -os Greek-feeling ending. Famously polarising at first; Placek cites this in the podcast.
e.g. Sonos · Sonatic · Sonance
Latin root
Pairs fairmailson 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.

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