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.
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

Deep, you, communal
U is communal — Uber, YouTube, Yum!. Also reads as 'you' in product brands (Unsplash, Udemy).
e.g. Uber · YouTube · Udemy · Unilever · Unsplash
Punchy, popping, percussive
P pops. Plays well with concrete object names — Pepsi, Pixar, PowerBook, Pentium. Lexicon canonical: PowerBook = compound, Pentium = morpheme + suffix.
e.g. Pepsi · Pixar · PowerBook · Pentium · Polaroid
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
Tight, terse, definite
T cuts. Tesla, Twitter, TikTok (double-T), Twilio. Compact and decisive. Reduplicated T (TikTok) is bouba/kiki playful.
e.g. Tesla · Twitter · TikTok · Twilio · Target

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
relating to, characteristic of
Open ending, smooth landing. Linear is Placek-cited as a Lexicon-influenced naming pattern.
e.g. Linear · Solar · Polar · Volvo (via Latin -o not -ar, related)

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