0upvotes

Use this skill when the founder needs to name a product or company and find a domain: 'name my product,' 'what should I call it,' 'help me pick a domain,' 'is this a good name,' 'my domain is taken,' 'check if this name is available,' or a pasted list of candidate names. Scores names against ten rules, then checks domain availability with DNS and RDAP. Not for pointing DNS at a host once the name is chosen (use go-live) or for writing page copy (use landing-page).

# Naming a product and getting the domain

A name can fail in two ways: it is a bad name, or it is a good name you cannot have. Judge the concept first. Test availability second.

## Optimize in this order

```
great concept  →  great name  →  acceptable domain
```

**Never the reverse.** The failure is subtle: one pattern starts returning free domains, so you generate more of that pattern, and within two rounds availability is choosing the concept. The symptom is a list where most names share a word or a shape.

A great name with an acceptable domain beats a mediocre name with a perfect one. `Foothold` on `getfoothold.com` works. `socialengagementautomation.com` is still a dead name. When a strong name's exact domain is gone, try other suffixes in the acceptable set and the `get`/`use` + one word wrapper (rules 7 and 10 in the scorecard) before dropping the name. Drop a name for being weak, never for being taken.
