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.
nominal ending, abstract noun
Crisp, decisive ending. Less common than -ex but feels older-Greek.
e.g. Lexis · Veritas-is variants · Mantis
Greek root
abstract noun ending; in Sanskrit, 'great' or 'mother'
Soft, mother-feeling suffix. Lands warm.
e.g. Figma · Asma · Karma
Latin / suffix root

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
Pairs ismacbook 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
I-onset: 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.
Examples: iPhone · Instagram · Intel · Imgur

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