For more information on what domains are available, you may use the "whois" feature on any domain name registration service such as Gandi or Network Solutions.

If the name was registered by a reseller company, the whois may list the reseller as the owner. You should then go to the reseller's page and look up the name there. For instance, looking up atthefaire.com shows it is owned by Network Solutions. If you go to the Network Solutions whois page and look up the entry, you can find the real owner.
