(Warning: deleted app names can never be reclaimed .)

It's unfortunate that once deleted, names can't be reused by someone else. I imagine this has something to do with their security model.

Why is the name important? Won't you be connecting it to your own domain name anyway?

There are still a few details, such as not being able to do https through your own domain (and apparently even for this new feature your app can only receive e-mail at your appspot domain) that may still make having a good appspot name important.
