I added a - and got a domain name. For ex:
Instead of Blackcat.com it's Black-cat.com
NOT the one I wanted at the time but it would do.
I signed up for the notices that let you know when the domain you do want is up for sale.
A month later it was up for sale and available...I jumped.
Now I own both Blackcat.com and Black-cat.com (not really those domains but you get the point)
I hope the domain you want comes up for sale in the future for you but for now, I would consider adding a "." or a "-" and see if that works.
