mayworth is okay.

I like this game, so I just had a look and the following are available:

shlant.com
deala.net
beebuy.net
downramp.net
martville.net
priceknife.net

plus a .com that I think is so good I'm thinking of registering it myself!

With names, you need all the main ones really to be free
(eg .com, .co.uk, .tv)

Which main ones? ICANN is planning to open up TLDs way beyond the twenty-one generic ones, besides the country codes. Not only city names (.ldn, .nyc, .paris) but brands and even personal names so long as there is a business plan and technical capacity. The cost may only be a few hundred thousand...a bargain. Meanwhile, Arabic, Cyrillic and assorted Asian scripts will come on stream. About a year to go, according to industry estimates.
