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.

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
Punchy, popping, percussive
P pops. Plays well with concrete object names — Pepsi, Pixar, PowerBook, Pentium. Lexicon canonical: PowerBook = compound, Pentium = morpheme + suffix.
e.g. Pepsi · Pixar · PowerBook · Pentium · Polaroid
Young, yes, asymmetric
Y is i-mutation. Lyft from lift, Bumble carries no Y but Tumblr drops the E. Y as a brand starter is rarer — usually used as a final mutation. YouTube uses Y as 'you'.
e.g. YouTube · Yelp · Yahoo! · Yeezy · Spotify (suffix)
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 xcopywind 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
X-onset: Fast, crisp, innovation
X is the innovation letter. From X-ray to Tesla Model X, X-prefix signals 'next-generation'. Also a great suffix — Brex, Latex, FedEx, Netflix. The KS-cluster makes any name feel sharper.
Examples: Xerox · Xbox · Tesla Model X · Netflix · Brex · Latex
Morpheme breakdown — 1 root detected in xcopywind
wind · English (Old English) · wind, air motion
Old English wind, 'moving air'
Used by: Windsurf · Windsor

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