Ask HN: What will happen when all personal domain names are taken?

Few years from now, firstname.lastname.com would be very rare to find, what would happen then? Why isn't there a systematic way that ensures that future generations will have access to personal domain names?

Is there a service like about.me that enables the search for other people and find their domain names? I think this might be a good solution for the problem, because if this service exists, then one can link to a domain name that may not be even purchased (i.e first.last.website.com) but can still be searchable, you search by name and find the matching photo and can see the personal website.

What do you think?
