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

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

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
Rolling, robust, ready
R conveys motion and roll. Less smooth than L (English R is more forceful). Used for action brands (Rivian, Roku, Reddit, Ralph Lauren). R also doubles as a sci-fi register (Robocop, R2D2).
e.g. Rivian · Roku · Reddit · Ralph Lauren · Revolut
truth, certainty, trustworthiness
Builds a trust signal at the start of the name. V is the most vibrant single letter — Placek's research repeatedly puts V at the top of energy scoring. Reading 'ver' primes 'true' before the rest of the name even completes.
e.g. Verily · Verisign · Vercel · Veritas · Veracity
Latin root
Pairs ucbrowserver 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 ucbrowserver.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=ucbrowserver.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.
