Sounds like something that should be testable, given a dictionary and some time to write a script that look up domain names. Any takers?

I did this last week, pretty much only crappy domains are left in .com, so you either have to buy one from someone, choose a different TLD, or get creative with spelling.

I think ideally you create an entirely new word, like a portmanteau, that is nonetheless spelled exactly the way you'd expect it to be.
