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.
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
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
Zany, attention, edge
Z is loud. Zoom, Zillow, Zendesk, Zara. Less universal than S — Z is more youth-energy. Used when you want the name to feel buzzy or kinetic.
e.g. Zoom · Zillow · Zendesk · Zara · Ziploc
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
Neutral, natural, nurturing
N is M's twin. Slightly less embracing but warm. Noom, Nike, Nubank, Netflix. Pairs especially well with double-O (Noom) — the bouba round-mouth shape.
e.g. Nike · Noom · Nubank · Netflix · Notion
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
Maternal, warm, hummed
M is the first sound a baby makes. Mama. Mira. Mantle. The most universally warm letter. Used for health, hospitality, family brands.
e.g. Microsoft · McDonald's · Mira · Mantle · Marriott

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