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.
make, smith, ironwork
Craftsmanship register. Real-word concreteness. Used as suffix in SourceForge.
e.g. Forge · SourceForge · Forgea
Old French root
Breathy, humble, honest
H is the gentlest onset. Hub, Hims, Helio. The breath before the word — used when you want the brand to feel modest or whispered.
e.g. Hims · Hubspot · Honda · Häagen-Dazs

Generative, grounded, growth
G has weight without aggression. Google's double-G is famously childish-fun and warm. Glossier slips on the G; Granola buries it. Pairs well with -oo for bouba roundness.
e.g. Google · Glossier · Granola · GitHub · Genesis
Pairs forgehaag 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
F-onset: 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).
Examples: Facebook · Figma · FedEx · Ford · Flickr

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