best for YC staff to respond, but i would think yes - since YC gives a greater weightage to the quality of the founding team, than specific ideas. but then looking at it from another angle, wouldn't it send a message that you have a problem in staying disciplined and focused which is critically important to build a solid company?

in conclusion, my recommendation is to choose one among the two ideas - and then use the second as reference work to demonstrate your entrepreneurial prowess.

if a title like "whatsapp" which seems to have nothing to do with an sms service is sold for $19 bn, i'm sure domain names have nothing to do with company valuation.

choose "whatsx.com" instead :-)
