No it is not possible.  That's what domain registrars are for.  In order
for your name to be recognized in the Internet's DNS system it must be
registered and unique.

The Internet actually runs on IP address, not names, and those IP
addresses are unique in that only one machine at a time can have a given
IP address.  This is basic TCP/IP info.
