Due to your choice of smilies I can't tell if you are asking a serous or silly question. If serious please expand on your question, it is too general.

Well, most 'quality' domain names are taken. You can try searching the Domain name market place here on WHT, Sedo, Afternic and other premium domain name markets.

A quality domain name is one that tells the world what your website is all about. For instance, if your website contains information on gardening, or plantation, then your domain name should not be just yourbusinessname.com, the domain name should reflect what you offer.

A quality domain name is a name that is relevant to the product / service you want to offer.
Lots of names have been taken, but not all of them obviously (since the supply is unlimited).
When choosing a domain name, try to think "what would my target customers type/search for in Google?"
Next to that, it is usually a good idea to go for a short name (as short as possible), and choose a name that is easy to spell (to prevent typo).
Hope this helps

I wonder if....
Googles adjustment on value of exact match domain names has anything to do with the lack of availability of simple, explanatory domain names?
All those new suffix and everyone still wants a .com

Try to find a short, memorable domain, either brandable or generic related to your website content, service, products, etc.
I also recommended to avoid hyphen domain names and domains with numbers.● HostNurse.com - We Nurse & Babysit Your Websites!

● 24/7 Support | cPanel | Softaculous | SEO Tools | RVSiteBuilder & More.

Yup memorable and if you can find a good one with a keyword of your business than even better! Try not include characters in the domain name.

If you are looking to select a quality domain name then there are a couple of things that you will need to consider. Here below are just a couple key points that needs to be kept in mind before selecting a domain name for your business ect.
1. What is your keyword strategy? After you get that strategy resolved and finalized, then you need to select a domain keyword.
In other words a relevant keyword to use in your domain name.
2. In addition your domain name should be short enough to be easy to remember, type out and easy to advertise. A short domain name helps a lot also with viral and social media.
3. Another simple tip that I have found useful is that your domain name should be able to self describe itself. Having a domain name that is self explanatory will help get the visitors that you want because they know what to expect before they reach your site. If someone is able to read or hear your web name than they should be able to guess what your site is all about.
4. Don't be afraid to get opinions from people you trust. There is this old Proverb that states "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." So ask for some advise once you get down to the top 5 or so domains that you are looking to secure.There are many places you can go to Make an Email Address that is reliable and secure.
