I am always on the lookout for ways of finding new domain names and I liked the post on the Self Made Minds blog on researching domains.
It does recommend using the Overture search count tool to see how many searches there are on any particular word or phrase. Unfortunately, I think they are no longer updating Overture and the data is getting out of data very quickly. The nearest alternative is WordTracker.com. There is a subscription fee for access to the full service, although there is a free trial which provides limited access to search results.
Nevertheless, and its an interesting article and worth reading.
