Personally, I wish that the use of 3LDs (and below) was encouraged as
a conflict-resolution mechanism.  Then you could have

fish.firestone.com
roy.firestone.com
tire.firestone.com
wine.firestone.com
zoo.firestone.com

and so forth.  The "firestones" could jointly finance and support the
firestone.com domain.  (Apply this principle to any nLD.n-1LD part of
the DNS tree for the general case.)
