So keep looking for a better domain? Use the root word but with a different domain type (.us, .me, etc.), or go with 'the'.com ?
Do well enough and you can buy the domain you really want...

When it comes to domains it is very hard to find a suitable one that has not already been taken, as someone who has been in the domain industry for several years I would say:
Keep the domain as simple as possible Try to avoid words that are hard to spell Try to avoid words that can be spelt different ways "Right" "Write" etc.
Those should be taken with a pinch of salt as its just not that simple, however when I come across domains just as "yachtrendezvoustahiti.com" you have to wonder if something simpler could have been found.
thefacebook.com Do well enough and you can buy the domain you really want...
Even though you think the other website will not gain much traction, you will be driving traffic to them. If someone hears about you and goes to domain.com and sees a product in the same market, they may very well assume that it is you. Nothing good can come from this. Either they don't like what the see and leave or they buy from the competition. Why take that risk.
