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.
five (Pentium = fifth-generation Intel CPU)
Lexicon Branding canonical case — Pentium named to differentiate 5th-gen Intel CPU from the '586' that competitors could clone. Placek talks about it on Lenny's pod.
e.g. Pentium · Pentagon
Greek root
Breathy, humble, honest
H is the gentlest onset. Hub, Hims, Helio. The breath before the word — used when you want the brand to feel modest or whispered.
e.g. Hims · Hubspot · Honda · Häagen-Dazs
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
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
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
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.

Decisive, definite
D is B's gentler cousin. Decisive but not aggressive. Used in consumer trust brands (Dropbox, Dasani, Dell).
e.g. Dropbox · Dasani · Dell · Duolingo · Discord

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