Scruple

BY HUMAN
Moderate Risk

A feeling of doubt or hesitation with regard to the morality or propriety of a course of action. In the context of AI, it suggests a system that ensures AI agents operate within ethical and accountable boundaries, questioning any actions that might deviate.

From Latin 'scrupulus', meaning 'a small sharp stone', which metaphorically referred to a cause of uneasiness or anxiety, like a small stone in one's shoe. Later, it evolved to mean a moral doubt or hesitation.

NFX Score:7/10
Domains:3/4 available
Conflict Check

The name 'Scruple' is relatively uncommon as a company name, especially in the tech or security sector. However, its direct meaning relates to moral and ethical considerations, which could lead to associations with ethical AI frameworks or compliance, potentially creating indirect thematic conflicts. While no direct exact matches in tech/security were found, the word itself is not unique. Domain availability is mixed.

Thorough conflict checking reveals several existing entities with very similar names, particularly 'Agilent' (a major scientific instrumentation company) and 'Agint' itself appearing in various minor contexts. The phonetic similarity to 'agent' could also lead to confusion with companies whose names are based on 'agent' or 'agency' in the AI/security space.

BY HUMAN
High Risk

A person employed to prevent unauthorized people from entering a club or to remove unruly patrons. Metaphorically, it suggests a strong, vigilant gatekeeper, controlling access and ensuring order. For AI, it implies strict control over agent activities and data access.

Handler

BY HUMAN
High Risk

A 'handler' is someone or something that manages, controls, or directs an entity. In the context of AI, it suggests the ability to manage, control, and ensure the responsible operation of AI agents, aligning with the vision of accountability and trustworthiness.

English. From the verb 'to handle', meaning to manage, control, or deal with. The suffix '-er' denotes an agent or one who performs an action.

NFX Score:7/10
Domains:0/4 available
Conflict Check

The name 'Handler' is a common English word, which inherently leads to numerous conflicts across various industries. In tech, 'handler' is a widely used term in programming (e.g., event handler, request handler). Several companies and products exist with this name or similar variations, particularly in areas related to management, data, and even security, making it highly prone to trademark and branding confusion.

Tier 3englishauthority

Hawki

High Risk

Suggests sharp vision, vigilance, and a predatory focus on identifying threats or anomalies, similar to a hawk's keen eyesight. The 'i' suffix often implies intelligence, innovation, or a personalized/digital aspect.

Derived from 'hawk' (English, Germanic origin), referring to the bird of prey known for its sharp vision. The 'i' suffix is a modern, informal addition, often used in tech to denote 'internet', 'intelligence', or 'individual'.

NFX Score:6/10

There are significant conflicts with companies using 'Hawk' or 'Hawki' in the cybersecurity, AI, and related tech spaces. The theme of 'hawk' is also oversaturated in security.

Sentrio

High Risk

The name 'Sentrio' evokes concepts of a 'sentry' or 'sentinel' – a guard or watchman. It suggests constant vigilance, observation, and protection, which aligns well with monitoring and securing AI activity. The 'trio' suffix could subtly imply three pillars (accountability, transparency, trustworthiness) or a core focus.

Likely an invented name, derived from the English word 'sentry' or 'sentinel' (from Old French 'sentinelle', ultimately from Italian 'sentinella', related to 'sentire' meaning 'to perceive, to feel'). The 'io' suffix is a common modern tech naming convention.

NFX Score:7/10

Thorough conflict checking reveals several existing entities with the name 'Sentrio' or very similar names, primarily in the tech, AI, and security adjacent spaces. This significantly increases the risk of trademark confusion and domain availability issues.

NFX Naming Principles

Based on James Currier's research at NFX on what makes a great startup name.

Evocative over Descriptive

Names should evoke feelings and associations rather than literally describe the product. 'Amazon' evokes vastness, not 'OnlineBookStore'.

Claros evokes clarityKyros evokes authority

Memorable (3-Day Test)

If someone can't remember your name 3 days after hearing it once, it's not memorable enough.

VeriantKyrosVantix

Spell-able

People should be able to spell your name after hearing it once. Avoid unusual spellings.

Serix is intuitiveVelant is clear

Verb Potential

The best names can become verbs. 'Google it', 'Slack me', 'Uber there'.

'Veriant your AI stack''Claros your systems'

Friendly Yet Authoritative

Balance approachability with professional credibility. Too friendly loses trust; too stern loses connection.

Kyros has authorityTessera has warmth

Global Pronunciation

Name should be pronounceable across major languages without awkward sounds or meanings.

Vantix works globallyAxira is universal

High Conflict Names to Avoid

These names have direct competitors in the cybersecurity or AI security space. Using them would create significant trademark and brand confusion risks. Critical severity indicates major companies with significant market presence or recent acquisitions.
