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.
radiant ring
Cosmic / sacred connotation. Soft H-onset, smooth landing.
e.g. Halo (Microsoft) · Halo Top
Greek root
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
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
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
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.
e.g. eBay · Etsy · Excel · Edison · Equinox
Maternal, warm, hummed
M is the first sound a baby makes. Mama. Mira. Mantle. The most universally warm letter. Used for health, hospitality, family brands.
e.g. Microsoft · McDonald's · Mira · Mantle · Marriott

Neutral, natural, nurturing
N is M's twin. Slightly less embracing but warm. Noom, Nike, Nubank, Netflix. Pairs especially well with double-O (Noom) — the bouba round-mouth shape.
e.g. Nike · Noom · Nubank · Netflix · Notion

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