Instead it takes a week.</p> <p>You brainstorm a name you love. The .com is taken. The handle belongs to an account that posted twice in 2019. You go back to the list, and suddenly every idea sounds wrong. Repeat until you settle for a name you don't even like.</p> <p>I built NamerGuide to break that loop.</p> <p>Describe what you're building, and it gives you name candidates. Every candidate comes with domain and username availability checked and dated, so you see what was verified and when, not just a green tick you have to trust. Save the ones you like to a shortlist. No account needed, it's free.</p> <p>It also works the other way round. If you'd rather start from what's actually free, the site keeps a collection of short, brandable domains that appear unregistered right now. Names like boltwhim.com, mapmirth.com, nookquill.com, tailpetal.com. Real names you can go check and buy, instead of a wishlist of taken ones.</p> <p>That's the whole idea. Check availability before you fall in love with a name, not after.</p> <p>Try it free here: <a href="https://namerguide.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://namerguide.com</a></p> <p>If you use it, tell me what you named. I'm curious what people build with it.</p> naming domains startup sideprojects
