This is something that I would definitely subscribe to. The available names that you shared are pretty nice.
I do think that it would be hard to find people willing to pay for a list of available domain names, unless it were a very small amount, but even then you wouldn't likely have very many subscribers (and I think most would be domainers).
I think a way to monetize a free service/list like this would be to charge a fee for specific requests. Once you had established yourself as someone who could definitely come up with good names, I expect people would come to you, and you could charge to come up with a private list of available names for whatever their topic is.
