This little gimmick is more a product of anger than anything else.
I really struggled coming up with good domain names because every time I manage to come up with a good one, it ends up being taken or being on sale for 400 quadrillion dollars. So the next logical step for me was to try the LLM-Domain-Generators provided by some domain providers.
The problem with those is, that they were always so very generic and also often lock you in on one specific seller. At that point I've had enough and sat down for one weekend and made the Frankenstein wonetic.com
Originally I thought that this would be an easy task but BOY was I wrong. LLM's really suck at being creative so I had to come up with some clever ways to formulate "creativity" with confidence scores / Vowel counts etc.
This "formulating" took roughly 80% of the effort put into this site.
Anyways. It's 100% Free and lets you customize domains from many advanced options I've put in there. (Custom TLD's, Generation Algorithms, Tones etc.). It will only display AVAILABLE domains and compare the best prices so you get a good deal on it too. Have fun!
PS: Depending on how much people like this, I will also add an option to check if the domain names have free social media handles.
