alternative domain names

i want a domain name that is taken in every single way i can think to put it.

it's for a new name for my business but so that i don't have to say it lets use my old name, green clean. i want greenclean.com, can't it, so trying greencleangroup, greencleanltd, ukgreenclean but can't get those either.

any suggestions for things to add to make a name work? i don't want hypens as i find that hard to explain to people.

Pick a new name.

Generally speaking if the .com, .net and .org (and maybe the .co) is taken, give up. Or, check to see if anyone is using these extensions and try buy them.

You can use http://domai.nr/ to try and think of witty domain names.

You can get green-clean.co.uk for £239 or I would suggest contacting the owner of the non hyphenated .co.uk to try and agree a price.

People still have a weird valuation on domain names. The right domain name can really give you a lift up.

Edit, just checked and £590 for the none hyphenated version
