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.
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
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
Versatile, soft-or-hard depending on next vowel
C is two letters in disguise. CA/CO/CU = K-energy (Coca-Cola, Cisco, CapCut). CE/CI = S-energy (Cellular, Citi). Brands lean one way or the other deliberately.
e.g. Coca-Cola · Cisco · Canva · Calm · CapCut
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
Wide, welcoming, wave-like
W is the gentlest start. Wells Fargo, WhatsApp, Wikipedia, Windsurf. Often a quiet onset that lets the next syllable do the work.
e.g. WhatsApp · Wikipedia · Wells Fargo · Windsurf · Wix
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
Noisy, alert, attention-grabbing
S is what a snake does — hiss for attention. Stripe, Snap, Slack, Spotify, Sonos. The most populous brand-starter letter for that reason. Pairs with anything.
e.g. Stripe · Snapchat · Slack · Spotify · Sonos
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

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