## Anti-Patterns (Avoid These)

- **Double-modifier**: `GetKodoForge.com` -- too long, confusing
- **Hyphens**: `kodo-forge.dev` -- hard to share verbally
- **Numbers**: `kodo2.com` -- looks cheap, hard to remember
- **Misspellings**: `kodoh.com` -- creates confusion, not clever
- **Overly long compounds**: `vagbaraprotocolengine.com` -- nobody will type this
- **Ambiguous abbreviations**: `vhv.io` -- meaningless, no brand recall
