Yes as the criteria for registering under the gTLD's such as dot com are not that strict. You can have basically anything dot com providing you don't impinge on the rights of others. First in first served is the guiding criteria although if another company has the name "xyz" they may challenge your right to the domain name. Darryl (Dassa) Lynch
