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.
shape, figure
Figma = fig (figure) + -ma (Lexicon-style suffix). Concrete object + abstract ending.
e.g. Figma
English / Italian figura root
Tight, terse, definite
T cuts. Tesla, Twitter, TikTok (double-T), Twilio. Compact and decisive. Reduplicated T (TikTok) is bouba/kiki playful.
e.g. Tesla · Twitter · TikTok · Twilio · Target
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
Generative, grounded, growth
G has weight without aggression. Google's double-G is famously childish-fun and warm. Glossier slips on the G; Granola buries it. Pairs well with -oo for bouba roundness.
e.g. Google · Glossier · Granola · GitHub · Genesis
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
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
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
Pairs figtagore 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
F-onset: 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).
Examples: Facebook · Figma · FedEx · Ford · Flickr

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