Back in the old days, I had iam.coop (my work nickname at the time) for a few weeks. It turns out that when domain registrars say they’re going or check your eligibility, they mean it. I failed. They took it back. For two glorious weeks my email address was hello@iam.coop

.coop (for cooperatives) is especially strict about this. You need to provide proof that you're a worker/consumer cooperative that is either actively doing business or has a documented business plan.
Haha, I've done something very similar recently. I go by the name Cloud in some circles, so recently got thenameis.cloud when I needed a spare domain.
