Thanks for all the input on how to name the first/root domain of the forest. The best approaches in order are:
1) Register a domain name your not using on the Internet and will not use on the Internet. Then create the first AD domain there, example.net. 2) If you use a domain that you are using for your Internet presence create the first AD domain with a sub domain, ad.example.com.
