Same thing tends to be true for company names when you go to register. You think up something cool, then look through the list only to find there's 20 company names that could be confused with your candidate. :o

+1 Been there more than a few times myself.
It used to drive me nuts until I allowed myself to realize there are an awful lot of clever and creative people out there.

Well, kind of. I'm not a cause of the problem. I'm a symptom. Because domains disappear, if you want to use one, whether or not you can, you have to buy it.
It's a vicious circle.
The logic bears resemblance to deterrence theory (escalation).

For some reason a Steve Jobs quote comes to mind. Something about there being too many smart people out there? :)
