FYI -- generally, the test for whether you infringe someone else's trademark is "likelihood of confusion" and takes a number of factors into account like whether the goods/services are similar, channels of distribution, etc.

So using this as an example hypothetically and assuming there are trademark rights, a court would look at whether someone who owns rights in debbiedoesdallas (and there is a site with this url) could claim that consumers are confused into thinking that debbiedoestampa is associated with debbiedoesdallas.

As always, you should consult your lawyer.
