Thanks Juilan!
Thanks too Jim, enjoy the domain!

For various reasons related to our WordPress trademark, we ask if you're going to start a site about WordPress or related to it that you not use "WordPress" in the domain name. Try using "wp" instead, or another variation. We're not lawyers, but very good ones tell us we have to do this to preserve our trademark. Also many users have told us they find it confusing.
If you already have a domain with "WordPress" in it, redirecting it to the "wp" equivalent is fine, just as long as the main one users see and you promote doesn't contain "WordPress."

Correct. Always a risk with TM domains. From what I've read those at Wordpress is they don't wish to actually go sue anybody using the name, as it would be in bad spirit of Open Source ... it is correct though that they do ask you not to. Matt W has been known to make contact before and "ask".
When I first regged a dropped Wordpress domain I researched and found this thread:

Ebay will go after you in a New York minute if you use their name. Wordpress doesn't
appear they will .... but as with any trademarked domain it's important to be aware of.
