Well, I think it's awesome. I tried a few and it was impressive. Love the fonts and colours. Very nicely done. I was even getting new business ideas reading them all! Maybe call it Brandroid? :-) An appropriately machine-generated name. https://www.punchlinedesign.net/pun_generator/AI+brand

Maybe you should add a /s? It is a joke right? If not it doesn't seem to be working, I'm just getting back my keyword with hundreds of suffixes.

Well, yes it currently adds or i should say AI "selects" suffixes but if you think about it, it's not an easy problem to solve. For example, if you want to add just 3 letters the possibilities are 26^3 or 17K, with 4 its > 450K. How do you select just a few hundred pronounceable relevant words? That's where AI comes in. I plan to display non-suffixed results as well in future. Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome. But maybe add an option to disable domain checks? Because .com is not the only domain around...

Kind of tangential, but even here on HN you can see how awkward people get with naming their projects/products. Either "stealing" an already established name from a completely different field or something so generic it's hardly searchable on the interwebs.

I don’t believe most start-up get “stolen,” there’s just a limited set of words and many are in use in different fields. Plus trademark expressly allows different marks by industry. A recent example here was a screen share app sharing the name with “screen,” the Unix tool. But shouldn’t that be okay? Most people won’t be confused between the two.
