The name check
117 names recorded in use, 10 already rejected with a reason, 20 flagged weak — and three rules that have already killed two names.

Try one:
The three standing rules
No bare dictionary words
Usable, but weakly protectable. 20 names in the portfolio already carry this flag.
Nothing containing “chain” or “token”
Both read as blockchain in a diluted sector, and the architecture deliberately is not one. This rule killed Lockchain and StrongChain.
Never name a thing after the mechanism that makes it work
A name that describes the machinery ages badly and gives away the machinery.
This site’s own name was run through it.
“Mould loft” is not on the taken list, is not a near-collision, contains neither banned root, is not one of the twenty
weak words, and is a compound term of art rather than a bare dictionary word. It names a room, not a mechanism.
Check it yourself — the result is computed, not asserted.
Already rejected, with the reason
| Name | Why not |
|---|---|
| lockchain | Killed — reads as blockchain, and the architecture deliberately is not one. |
| strongchain | Rejected — same 'chain' defect that killed Lockchain. |
| token chain | Rejected — reads more crypto, not less. |
| chain of command | Rejected — common phrase, means authority hierarchy, unregistrable. |
| comptroller | Rejected — public office title, generic for the function, implies official status. |
| comptrol | Rejected — reads as a typo of comptroller. |
| olah | Rejected — reversal reads as a typo and is unsearchable. |
| gen x | Rejected — generational cohort term, unregistrable. |
| xgen | Rejected — direct collision with Salesforce's xGen LLM family. |
| magellan | Retired — collides with the Magellan GPS navigation brand. Now Cupola. |
117 names recorded in use
A name on this list is not a failure. If the same component appears inside a new product, reuse is correct — write it HOST · NAME rather than renaming anything.
