2^128 addresses may be not used all. But I am doubtful of " A more realistic
estimate of address usage would be 100 * earth's population. " . There are many
public equipments with IP addresses in the future, may be in the street, or any
public spaces.
However, this is not problem. If domain names is just combinations of
characters, the domain names may never exhausted forever. My argue is "giving
a new registered domain name some social meaning known by lots of other people
other than just by the owner himself would be better, because domain name needs
some additional value for the corresponding IP address".

The basic premise that name use is tied to potential addresses

Also that fact that the address space is 2^128 in IPv6 in
no way means that we will get 2^128 addresses assigned on
the net.
A more realistic estimate of address usage would be 100 *
earth's population. Even that is a guess, but it will
only be a relatively small multiplier. The number however
is larger than 4 billion which ment that we needed a bigger
address scheme that we have with IPv4.
The DNS will handle whatever naming requirements humans
need for the forseeable future. We really don't name things
fast enough for it to be a problem.
