There were a lot of reserved .Us Names - I think zip codes were reserved as well !

Hello SuperdealChris,

These names have all been retained by the .us registry along with quite a few of the 3-letter .us names.

You can download a list of reserved names at this link:
http://www.nic.us/registrars/

Here's the lowdown of what is reserved by the registry:
# All 1 and 2 digit or letter or digit/letter combos
# All numbers five digits and higher
# All numbers in the format five digits-four digits (zip codes)
# All telephone numbers including toll-free numbers
# Tagged domain names—all labels with hyphens in the third and fourth character positions (e.g. "bq--kn2n4h4b")

Hope this helps,
Andrew
