NAME
namecheck – Check project names are not already taken.ABOUT
This is a simple tool to automate the testing of project names at the most common Open Source / Free Software hosting environments.Each new project requires a name, and those names are ideally unique. To come up with names is hard, and testing to ensure they’re not already in use is time-consuming – unless you have a tool such as this one.
