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.
edge, verge, bending toward
V-energy + edge semantic. Reads as 'about to happen / leading-edge'.
e.g. Verge · The Verge
Latin root
Liquid, lifting, lyrical
L glides. The most liquid letter. Lyft, Linear, Lululemon, Loom. Brands that want to feel fluid or effortless start with L.
e.g. Lyft · Linear · Loom · Lululemon · Lego
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
Versatile, soft-or-hard depending on next vowel
C is two letters in disguise. CA/CO/CU = K-energy (Coca-Cola, Cisco, CapCut). CE/CI = S-energy (Cellular, Citi). Brands lean one way or the other deliberately.
e.g. Coca-Cola · Cisco · Canva · Calm · CapCut
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
Liquid, lifting, lyrical
L glides. The most liquid letter. Lyft, Linear, Lululemon, Loom. Brands that want to feel fluid or effortless start with L.
e.g. Lyft · Linear · Loom · Lululemon · Lego

Smooth, frictional, friendly
F flows. Less attention-grabbing than B or K, but warm. Facebook, FedEx, Figma — F can either soften the front (Figma) or pair with an explosive ending (FedEx).
e.g. Facebook · Figma · FedEx · Ford · Flickr

First-letter feeling
V-onset: Vibrant, alive, the most active letter
V is THE Placek letter. Vibrant, alive, the most active sound in English. Vercel, Volvo, Verily, Verisign, Vimeo. V-onset signals 'true / vital / vehicle'. Vercel pairs ver (Latin true) + cel (Latin swift) — every linguist choice deliberate.
Examples: Vercel · Volvo · Verily · Vimeo · Visa · Verizon

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