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.
Invented brand; sounds premium and European
Foreign-feeling phonetic invention. Lexicon's playbook for premium positioning via implied origin.
e.g. Häagen-Dazs
Invented (faux-Scandinavian) root
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.
e.g. Vercel · Volvo · Verily · Vimeo · Visa
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
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
Small, precise, individual
I is the smallest character on the keyboard. Used for personal/lightweight brands (Instagram, iPhone). Apple's i-prefix is the modern naming canon. Front-vowel I makes things feel sharp and small.
e.g. iPhone · Instagram · Intel · Imgur
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
quality, state, condition
Abstract, professional, slightly formal. Good for B2B / services.
e.g. Acuity · Verity · Plenty
Latin root

First-letter feeling
H-onset: Breathy, humble, honest
H is the gentlest onset. Hub, Hims, Helio. The breath before the word — used when you want the brand to feel modest or whispered.
Examples: Hims · Hubspot · Honda · Häagen-Dazs

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