# NameDaemon
> Free tools for people who work with .com domain names: name ideas, scores, availability, drop dates and daily keyword alerts, built on a daily snapshot of every registered .com.
Results come from a daily snapshot of the .com zone file and live registry (RDAP) look-ups. Each result says which day it is from. Scores are heuristics, not valuations, and a name being missing from the snapshot does not guarantee it is available; confirm with a registrar before buying.
Latest snapshot: 2026-10-14.
## Find a Name
- [Domain Name Generator](https://namedaemon.com/tools/domain-name-generator/): Type a keyword and get the best .com names that are not taken, scored and confirmed live.
- [Short Domains](https://namedaemon.com/tools/short-domains/): Pronounceable 3 to 6 letter names that are missing from the zone.
- [Domain Hacks](https://namedaemon.com/tools/domain-hacks/): Turn a word into a hack like short.ly or brand.ai, and check one name across many extensions.
- [Handle Matcher](https://namedaemon.com/tools/handle-matcher/): Is the name also free on GitHub, npm, PyPI, Bluesky and more? Profile links for the rest.
- [Web3 Domains](https://namedaemon.com/tools/web3-domains/): The same name as an ENS (.eth) or Solana (.sol) name, read from the blockchain, with the ENS price.
