There's something wrong with this name. Its shows as available in nic.us, and some registrars, but it can't seem to be registered at all.

Lots of Americans with Chinese origins.

shouldn't you have 8 number 8s instead of 4 in the case of a lucky number?

.US has reserved a ton of various names, such as city names and phone numbers. I'm sure they have some logical reason for reserving three and four digit .us names.

Other ramdon-looking four-digit .us names seem to be allowed. Its just some 'special' ones like 8888 that are reserved.
