consider prefixes and suffixes to your desired name

getSAAS.com

SAASapp.com

consider plural or singular to your desired name

also ask ChatGPT if you don’t mind the data mining, theyre not going to register your project

I’ve done that with domain names and monetized a viral campaign in a week, i didnt pick a brand name until i had the domain name

but I’m probably not your target audience and I would never need an email from you to close a sale but I see

.io, .dev, .xyz, .wtf, .finance employed alot. if you do those, still register a .com for the transactional emails

"saas" is a good example of a name where you could have "issues" conversationally. For example, if you are not in a tech circle. I run saashub(.com), and quite often have to explain "saas with double 'a'" or "saas like software as a service"
