It's fun to see the good names it comes up with--except almost none of them are dot com names. I wonder whether a dot com name is really so essential anymore. Unless your marketing relies on print or word of mouth, your traffic will come from links, where the text of the domain name doesn't matter. Hmmm, I can't quite bring myself to believe it...

If you do register a name from this site, be sure to click the Learn More link on the Google domain registration page. It will give you the option of choosing the registrar.

DNS squatters are using very sophisticated algorithms feeding from Google Trends and hot words in blogs or mainstream media. Forget about getting a domain on something not obscure.
