A startup name, with the domain still free.
Ten AI owls invent hundreds of names for what you are building. Every one is checked at the live registry, put through a sanity check and scored by two judges. A real run is playing right below.

Questions
What does it cost?
$9 per naming project, one payment, no subscription. A project is a full run, 5 full appraisals and a free re-run if no name fits. Naming more than one thing? 5 projects cost $29.
How do you know a domain is available?
Every name is checked against the live registry while the owls work. A name only makes your list when its domain is free to register on the day, so you never fall for a name someone already owns.
Do you sell domains?
No. You register your favourite at the registrar of your choice, such as Namecheap, Porkbun or Cloudflare, at their normal price. No markup, no commission.
Do you check trademarks?
No. A free domain is not trademark clearance: we check domain availability only. The full appraisal tells you what to search for, but checking trademarks and other naming rights is your responsibility before you use a name.
What makes a good startup name?
Short, easy to spell after hearing it once, said only one way, clear of the obvious marks in your space, and with a domain you can actually register. The judges score every name against exactly these.
