Let this stand as a reminder that paying that extra 17$ for a more legit looking TLD may just be the right thing to do.
I want to create an app that helps people relax. Sorry, Calm is taken, I need a different name. I want an app that's like a book of faces... Facebook is taken. I need a different name.
If someone else already has the domain name you want, you can register under a different tld, but you have to be aware that this conflict will exist and confusion will be a problem.
