Uh, Folks DOMAIN NAMES cannot be reserved in that manner and this lawsuit from the US District Court says so. http://www.domainnamenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/express-media-express-corp-nd-ca.pdf That's not going to fly. DOMAIN NAMES are IP and need to be registered as TM's to protect them. If you want these domains to be protected and reserved then register them and pay the filing and maintenance fees on them.
