# NameSniper

> NameSniper is a username and domain availability checker with handle monitoring. It checks a name across every major social platform and domains in one search, and alerts you when a taken handle drops. For Telegram usernames it tracks the Fragment market from on-chain data and sends Fragment auction alerts through its Telegram bot. AI name generation, optional USPTO trademark screening (Day Pass, Pro and Business), smart alternatives, and a developer API and MCP server are included on paid plans.

NameSniper is a brand-launch tool for founders, marketers, and developers. One search checks a name across domains and the major social platforms and scores it; optional USPTO trademark screening is available on Day Pass, Pro and Business. Monitoring and sniping watch handles that are currently taken and notify you when they become available. Availability is reported with confidence scores; the methodology page explains how verdicts are produced.
