  You can post the names but until you own those domains anyone else could register the domain/s (especially If they have pagerank).

Don't sweat over the domain name. So long as you don't have something like

myreallylongspammylookingdomainname.com

you'll be fine.

You need to compromise when doing SEO . Domain is small piece of a huge puzzle for SEO.

Sure, its better for seo to have a domain name that targets a main keyword of your niche but like i said , its a small piece.

You'll probably end up compromising a lot more on your on-page optimization, so don't worry about it to much.

Domain names don't have as much of an effect on SEO as they used to. These days when I look to register a domain, I go for something easy to remember instead. Way more returning visitors that way.

If you are building a news aggregator website, I think it will benefit you in the long-term if you come up with a short, memorable name than going for a SEO-friendly like newsaggregator.com. As mentioned above, domain names play a very minor role in the SEO puzzle.

They are all correct. Find a domain name as short as possible and to the point.

I agree. Also, try to avoid stop words in domain name. If you use stop word in domain then you need good SEO. Make domain short and SEO friendly.

As you are going to register a domain name then think of brand name, long time business domain name.

Few tips about domain names:

Shorter is better
Have keywords/brand name in domain name
Always go with top extensions like .com, .net, .org, etc.
