Domain name ideas that come with the answer attached
Any generator can produce a hundred names. The features below exist for the second half of the job: working out which of them you can still have, what they are roughly worth, and how a shortlist gets from your screen into a decision.
| Input | One line of plain language about the business |
| Styles | Brandable, compound, short, literal |
| Extensions | .com .io .co .net |
| Check | RDAP, live, one lookup per candidate |
| Estimate | A labelled range on every free name |
| Output | A shortlist where nothing is already gone |
Six lines, and every one of them is a thing the product does today rather than a direction it is heading in.
Everything in the console.
Twelve capabilities, what each one is for, and which plan it sits on. Nothing here is a roadmap item.
| Capability | What it does | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Brief to names | A line of plain language becomes a shortlist. The model reads what the business does, who it serves and how it should sound, not a keyword. | Every console, every plan |
| Live registry check | Each candidate is looked up against the registry that holds the record, through RDAP, before the row is shown to you. | Every result row |
| Availability filter | Taken names are removed from the list by default. Switch the filter off and they stay, struck through, so you can see the whole field. | Console control |
| Value estimate | A range read from length, extension and pronounceability, labelled as an estimate everywhere it appears. Decision support, never an offer. | Free rows |
| Four naming styles | Brandable, compound, short and literal. The same brief in a different style is a genuinely different shortlist, not the same list reordered. | Console control |
| Extension coverage | Check .com, .io, .co and .net. Only extensions whose registries answer us directly are offered, because a check we cannot perform is worse than none. | Console control |
| Saved shortlists | Briefs and kept names survive closing the tab, so a naming project can run over a week rather than one sitting. | All plans |
| Bulk availability | Paste a list you already have and check the whole thing in one run instead of one name at a time. | Studio and above |
| Brandability scoring | Length, syllable count, spelling risk when read aloud, and how close the name sits to something already famous in the category. | Studio and above |
| Client-ready export | A shortlist as CSV or as a document you can put in front of a client, with the check time on every row. | Studio and above |
| Drop watch | Put a watch on a name that came back taken and hear about it if the registration lapses, instead of re-checking by hand. | All plans |
| Seats and sharing | More than one person on the same naming project, with shared briefs and one shortlist rather than four private spreadsheets. | Studio and above |
Plan limits and seat counts are on pricing. Bulk checking for a team is covered on the bulk domain name checker page.
Four ways to build a name
The style is not a filter over one list, it changes how the name is constructed. Running the same brief through all four is the cheapest way to find out what the business should sound like.
Brandable
Invents a word that does not exist yet. The longest odds of being free, the most work to make familiar, and where almost every well known software name came from.
Compound
Joins two real words into one. Reads instantly, spells itself over the phone, and the .com is gone more often than you would like, which is exactly what the filter is for.
Short
Clips a root to something you can type without thinking. Under seven letters where it can manage it, and it will tell you when the brief has nothing short in it.
Literal
Says what the thing is. Weakest as a trademark, strongest for a local business whose customers search the category rather than the brand.
Four things it deliberately does not do
A short feature list that is true beats a long one that is aspirational. These are the gaps, written down on purpose.
No logo package
Naming tools that hand you a logo are usually funded by the logo. We do one job and the output is a name with a verdict on it.
No junk extension push
When the .com is gone we say so. We do not steer you onto a worse extension to make the search look successful.
No catalogue of listings
There is no grid of names for sale at invented prices. If a name you want is held, the Brokerage plan approaches the holder on your behalf; we sell nothing and nothing is dressed up as inventory.
No trademark clearance
Brandability scoring flags a conflict signal, and that is all it is. It is not a legal search and it is not advice from anybody qualified to give it.
Take it further
The same feature set seen from the job you are doing with it.
The four steps, the protocol behind the check, and the limits of what a verdict means.
The generator page, with the console seeded for a website rather than a company.
Checking names you already have, in bulk, without generating anything new.
What the value estimate reads, what it cannot know, and how to use the range.
Read the feature list, then go and break it.
The console runs on the real registry without an account. Put a brief in, switch the style, and see how the shortlist changes.
No card to create the account. Your brief stays yours.
