I think for english speakers the .rs suffix can be interesting (e.g. love.rs - already taken, but hey). In my opinion uncommon domain names are ok, because nowdays you don't have to remember the full domain name to find the site what you are looking for.

Yes nowadays most of the startups have wired domain names, sometimes even confusing with pokemon characters http://evilbrainjono.net/pages/startup-or-pokemon.py

But when it comes to Google and searching isn't it true that awkward domain names will not get better search results?

No, I don't think so. Google is clever enough to recognize your title tag along with your domain name. Of course it is little harder to be the first result for a search, but that's because new domains tend to be that way. And if you make enough money you can always buy the .com counterparts.
