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.
wave, movement, frequency
Real English word — works as concrete compound element. Adds motion + texture.
e.g. Heatwave · Brainwave · Soundwave
English (Old English wagian) root
abstract noun ending; in Sanskrit, 'great' or 'mother'
Soft, mother-feeling suffix. Lands warm.
e.g. Figma · Asma · Karma
Latin / suffix root
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
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
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
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
Pairs wavemacodes 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.

First-letter feeling
W-onset: Wide, welcoming, wave-like
W is the gentlest start. Wells Fargo, WhatsApp, Wikipedia, Windsurf. Often a quiet onset that lets the next syllable do the work.
Examples: WhatsApp · Wikipedia · Wells Fargo · Windsurf · Wix

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