I was thinking my site, testomatix.com, was going to escape unscathed until you got to the ix's, only to find out ix is "the new rama." Argh. Nice post, though. :-)

Find a domain you like and which is avaiable?

How about a feasible suggestion?

Domain squatting is ridiculous. At least when you had land grabs in the old west, they made you improve the property in order to keep it.

But we are not talking about domain squatting, we talk about how to name a startup.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I assume that when someone picks a name and domain for a startup is because they plan to use it. When would you register a domain then?
