Big fan, I think I almost spend half an hour or so just trying random names, and I was not disappointed. The names were actually really good. How does the AI behind this work? Is…

yesenadam on HNThe auto-generated fonts and logos are great! The site is a little bit slow from all the traffic right now, though. For a fast and very simple name generator, I recommend…
lwneal on HNThis is pretty fun, I like the logo it creates too! Wish there was a specific ToS and license though

Objections
Mostly adds suffixes to the input word, so AI use is doubted

How does it use AI?
kirubakaran on HNI think it's meant to be a joke, poking fun at the "AI" that many systems claim to use these days.
GordonS on HNIt doesn't seem that way. Here is an earlier comment by the OP: "the site uses many algorithms some of which are AI-based. AI does not always kick in or in other words its…
kirubakaran on HNWow, then... I don't like to be a hater, but honestly this is pretty terrible - all it seems to do is add random suffixes to a word you enter?!

Domain availability checks are inaccurate
From 2 comments
It checks for .com availability but the checks are not 100% accurate at the moment.
mohit_agg on HNThis is not very helpful in that it shows names whose .coms aren't even available.

Multi-word input is not supported well
From 2 comments
I love the concept! I'd echo what one person said: It takes 1 word and add suffixes. No need for "AI" to concatenate suffixes from a suffix/etymology dictionary-- I imagine the…

pdubs1 on HNMaybe try some more common words. I didn't get any results for my first few searches ("worldbuilding", "terraforming", and "dimensional"), but got some for "writing" and…

Check domain availability for other TLDs
From 2 comments
Awesome. But maybe add an option to disable domain checks? Because .com is not the only domain around...
TomJansen on HNI'm loving this as well! I agree with @TomJansen - I think checking for other TLDs would be great. So far the best implementation of this I've seen has been iwantmyname.com.…

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…

Also worth checking out is https://namelix.com/ It has a filter to only show names with an available domain name.
