Year 2004 — at least for me :) — was the year when something interesting occurred in the internet : a website went insanely popular, and part of its success was probably quite a unique name and branding, getting rid of the traditionnal dot com, but instead using its top level domain to make a fun name. You got it, I’m talking about del.icio.us
Indeed, del.icio.us opened my eyes and I realized the top level domain (the last part of it, after the last dot) could be more than a meaningless extension. It can be used to give your domain more sense, and more fun. So I went with a fun little (well not so little) exercise : have an idea of a cool domain to register for every top level domain available. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, here are 249 suggestions for your next site or weblog domain, from .ac to .zw (well, at least I tried with 249 domains, but some were really unusable :)
The article is divided in 8 pages :
- This intro
- Domains from A to B
- Domains from C to F
- Domains from G to J
- Domains from K to M
- Domains from N to S
- Domains from T to Z
- Further resources, tips to registrants and a few things I’ve learned

You forgot the Cook Islands: .co.ck
E.g. monster.co.ck, a recruitment company :-)

Thought of this back in mid-nineties when I was registering my first domain. Ones I thought of then were:
fish.net
torn-fish.net
butterfly.net
full-butterfly.net
hair.net
gar.net <- semi-precious stone

I’m right there with you buddy!
I love playing with words and have also come up with some really cool domain names. Some have the coveted dotcom extension, others use various other extensions that make the result into a real word, like
computerpho.be
jetl.ag
dropf.at
I’ve heard this called hacking, but don’t really understand what the problem is. All the above site have some pretty good traffic stats.
Check out my website where you’ll find some other top notch domain names for sale, you can list your own domain names for sale, and pick up my free Special Report “How To Turn Domain Names Into Dollars”

Looks like mmor.pg is a no-go, as according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.pg these require local presence for Papua New Guinea and registrations are third-level beneath .com.pg, .net.pg, .ac.pg, .gov.pg, .mil.pg, and .org.pg.
Maybe you should tack an -s onto the end of that, which would land you in some completely different country. :)
