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.
Small, precise, individual
I is the smallest character on the keyboard. Used for personal/lightweight brands (Instagram, iPhone). Apple's i-prefix is the modern naming canon. Front-vowel I makes things feel sharp and small.
e.g. iPhone · Instagram · Intel · Imgur
Bold, blunt, declarative
B explodes from the lips. It commits. BlackBerry pairs the bold B with a homely real-word (berry) and the multiplier is the surprise. Brex doubles down — B + X both at the edges. Bumble takes B and makes it cuddly.
e.g. BlackBerry · Brex · Bolt · Bumble · Block
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
Sharp, crisp, bright
K is the bouba/kiki experiment's spiky letter. Kodak, Krispy, Kindle. Pairs well with the bouba/kiki rule (cross-cultural — K reads as 'pointy' across languages).
e.g. Kodak · Kindle · Krispy Kreme · Klarna · Klaviyo
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
solid mass, unit
Hard plosives front and back — decisive, blunt. Fintech / infrastructure register.
e.g. Block (Square rebrand) · Blockchain · Blocky

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