Why Pronounceability Matters

If users can't say your name, they can't share it. Word-of-mouth marketing relies on names that roll off the tongue. Nametastic's algorithms are trained to generate names that follow natural linguistic patterns, making them easy to pronounce in multiple languages.

The Radio Test

A good domain name should pass the "radio test": if someone hears it on the radio, can they spell it correctly?

Easy Spelling

Avoid confusion by skipping silent letters, double letters, or complex spellings.

Vocal Flow

Our generator favors CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) patterns that sound pleasing and professional.
