How the Name Check Works

A transparent explanation of the .com registry lookup, handle launchpad, and name-strength score.

.com registry lookup

The site sends a normalized .com domain to the Verisign RDAP service. A successful domain record indicates registration. A not-found response may indicate availability. Registry and registrar states can differ, so users must confirm before purchasing.

Social handle launchpad

The site does not claim live availability for every social platform. It builds direct profile or platform-search links so the user can verify with the platform itself.

Name-strength score

The score is a transparent heuristic based on length, digits, repeated characters, vowel balance, and a distinctiveness proxy. It is not a trademark search, legal opinion, popularity forecast, or guarantee.

Generated names

When OpenAI is configured, the Name Lab proposes brandable starting points. A local deterministic fallback keeps the tool usable without the API. Every suggestion still requires domain, platform, and legal checks.
