Namecheck — Brand Name Shortlist & Scoring

Namecheck — Brand Name Shortlist & Scoring — a premium, 100% offline digital tool by Aceplore. Runs entirely in your browser: no accounts, no subscriptions, your data never leaves your device.

A private, offline decision desk for naming — candidates scored against criteria you weight, the margin between first and second, and the domain and handle permutations to go and check — 34 tools in one, and a name missing a score is excluded rather than scored zero.

34 built-in tools in one app. A longlist with status, notes and a rejected list that KEEPS the reason so a name is not re-proposed three weeks later; criteria with weights and descriptions, a weights view checking they normalise, and a scoring grid of names against criteria; a ranking by weighted total that states the MARGIN between first and second, and a sensitivity view showing how the ranking moves when a weight changes — because a leader that flips on a two-point weight change is not a leader; an unscored list holding names missing a score, EXCLUDED from the ranking rather than counted as zero, since a zero is a judgement and a blank is not; word measurements that are genuinely measurements — character and syllable counts, consonant clusters, repeated letters, letter frequency and shape, and the acronym a name reduces to with collisions between candidates flagged — each presented as a measurement rather than a verdict about how a name sounds; a TLD list and generated domain permutations, handle patterns per platform and generated handle permutations, with the app stating plainly at the point of use that it runs offline and CANNOT look up availability, registration or trademark status; a check log recording what you found, an outstanding view per name, a clearance view showing what a recorded conflict blocks, and an UNKNOWN result that is never counted as clear; a panel view of colleague ratings with the spread, an agreement view surfacing where the panel disagrees most, a comparison and a printable one-page decision rationale; plus CSV exports, a JSON backup and a Method page stating exactly how the weighted score is computed.

Weighted score. (8×30 + 6×25 + 9×20 + 7×15 + 5×10) ÷ 100 = 7.25. Where the weights do not sum to 100 they are divided by their own total — 3, 2 and 1 divide by 6 — and Namecheck states that it normalised rather than doing it quietly.

Measurements. Character and syllable counts, consonant clusters, repeated letters and letter frequency. These are countable facts about a string. Namecheck does not tell you a name sounds good, because that is not something it can measure.

Permutations. 12 names × 5 TLDs is 60 domains; × 4 platforms is 48 handles. Namecheck builds the list so nothing is missed, and states plainly on the page that it runs offline and cannot check availability, registration or trademark status — those must be confirmed with the registries and rights holders.

Namecheck is a specification, costing and record-keeping tool for design and production work. Every figure it reports is computed by a stated formula from the sizes, prices, counts and rates YOU enter, and every figure carries its UNIT, because px, pt, mm, bytes, milliseconds and dpi are different quantities and confusing them is the classic failure in this field. Where a geometry has to close — a grid against its container, a proration, a coverage matrix — it is reconciled rather than rounded, and a disagreement is reported instead of absorbed. Where a rule comes from a published standard or an industry convention, the standard is named and its parameters are yours to change; where a figure rests on something you assumed rather than measured, it is labelled an assumption at the point of use. Nothing here is a guarantee of a passed press check, a performance score, an approved brand or an available name, and none of it is legal advice — trademark, licensing and accessibility obligations differ by country and by contract, and availability and registration must be confirmed with the registries and rights holders themselves. You are solely responsible for what you send to press, ship to a browser or put your name to.
