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
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.
e.g. WhatsApp · Wikipedia · Wells Fargo · Windsurf · Wix
sound, audible quality
S is noisy (Placek) — fitting for audio brands. Sonos = son + -os Greek-feeling ending. Famously polarising at first; Placek cites this in the podcast.
e.g. Sonos · Sonatic · Sonance
Latin root
Pairs xflowson 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 xflowson

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