Software Company Names, Spelling, and Domain

I am in the middle of picking a name for a software company and am finding this to be more difficult than I thought.

1. What do you think about company names with non conventional spelling?
2. What do you think about domain names without a .com extension?

• Top-level domain names are pretty much all taken
• I may have to resort to a company name with a non-conventional spelling
• My defense mechanism always kicks in when I see domains without a .com...
