Is there a way to check whether a package name would pass the automatic checks guarding registration? Other than starting registration outright.

The automerge workflow of the General Registry uses the function AutoMerge.run of RegistryCI.jl. I have not investigated it, but probably there you have all needed to do the checks.

If someone implements Run AutoMerge checks in package · Issue #453 · JuliaRegistries/RegistryCI.jl · GitHub it would be straightforward. In the mean time, running parts of AutoMerge manually is possible. Note that the name similarity check is not the only name check being done, although the easiest to override (and somewhat prone to false positives).
