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.
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
No copy for this segment yet — flag it.
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
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
Bright, technological, small/precise
E reads as 'electronic' to a generation raised on e-commerce. eBay, Etsy, Excel. Front vowels make things feel small and quick.
e.g. eBay · Etsy · Excel · Edison · Equinox
wind, air motion
Lexicon Branding's Windsurf case study — Placek explicitly cites the 'multiplier of associations' (wind + circular motion + sport).
e.g. Windsurf · Windsor
English (Old English) root
Pairs ubcgradewind 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 ubcgradewind.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=ubcgradewind.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.
