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.
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

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
sound, audible quality
S is noisy (Placek) — fitting for audio brands. Sonos = son + -os Greek-feeling ending. Famously polarising at first; Placek cites this in the podcast.
e.g. Sonos · Sonatic · Sonance
Latin root
Pairs packhamson 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.

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