Please build this: domain name search w/ connotation comments

  • It is very hard to make a computer do this due to the problem of meaning. Google will get you about 80% whereas a highly-optimized purpose-specific tool would buy you maybe 90%. Either way, you still need to stop and ask a native speaker.

    Google is actually fairly good for first-order checking. The summaries will give you an overview and the near-match suggestions will sometimes catch issues as well.

    For example: "blong" has slang connotations, is a surname, and sounds similar to "bong"; "schnipp" sounds like "snip" and is a surname; "gnurb" maps to GNUrb and a few user names.
