Also this was never a real problem. "All the good names are taken" is true if you insist that every name which isn't taken is a bad name but otherwise obviously false.
The same exact "Somebody already had the good ideas, it's not my fault I'm just too late" whining can be seen centuries ago. People who live in a world with no electricity, absolutely convinced that every product which will ever be wanted already exists. Morons.
Way back in time I wrote an HN post where I just spotaneously came up with plausible 2LD names off the dome and every single one was available. I won't bother repeating the exercise because it was evident that everybody who could understand this was unsurprised while the people who'd previously believed all the good names were gone just dismissed these as bad names because after all, if they were good names they'd be taken already, duh.
