DEFINITELY grab the domain, especially if you can get the appropriate suffix (e.g., .com, .org)! There are a lot of unscrupulous people who will catch wind of a new venture and snatch domain names to either sell back to the person with the idea for lots of bucks or to set up a rogue ecommerce site that appears to the casual visitor to be genuine. If you end up changing the company/product name or not using the domain for some other reason, you've invested $15 in inexpensive insurance against someone trying to masquerade as your company. PS: One of the services I offer is help figuring out a good company and/or product name.
