.us 2 available .us domains

[oddjob]

I'm new to domain names (and can't register .us) as far as I know.

These may be no good, but are available for anyone who likes them so far as I'm aware.

888.us
chna.us

Just for feedback, what do you experienced domainers think of these? Any good? Why/why not?

888.us not available. It's reserved by the .US registry, along with all 800.us-899.us domains and a few other NNN.US domains.

I'm sure 888 is reserved for the intended future use of telephone numbers in the .us tld. strings of number similar to telephone numbers are all reserved by the registry as are digits matching zip codes.
