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.
Curious, distinctive, rare
Q is rare. Just appearing at the start of a brand creates distinctiveness. Quibi, Quartz, Quora, Quad. The Q itself is the mnemonic.
e.g. Quora · Quartz · Quibi · Quizlet
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
Noisy, alert, attention-grabbing
S is what a snake does — hiss for attention. Stripe, Snap, Slack, Spotify, Sonos. The most populous brand-starter letter for that reason. Pairs with anything.
e.g. Stripe · Snapchat · Slack · Spotify · Sonos
volcanic glass
Concrete-mineral name. Multi-syllable but distinctive. Stone-class brands have stuck-ness (Granite, Quartz).
e.g. Obsidian (note app) · Obsidian Entertainment
Latin root
Pairs qosobsidian 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 qosobsidian.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=qosobsidian.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.
