This one seems to be a rather needless stumbling block.
Is there any *real* reason to avoid, say, Walter, if www.walter.com
is taken? Suppose you were really in love with the name Walter.
Wouldn't something like www.walteros.com, www.walter-os.com,
walteroperatingsystem.com, etc. be acceptable?

I'm not so sure that folks expect to simply type in
www.obviousguess.com anymore and get the site they want.

In fact, I'd suggest that most folks would just go to google or yahoo and
search for "Walter". (Hence the rationale for choosing an easily web-searchable
yet unique name.)
