Other things to consider are support/sales/ads or anything that contains your brand. Guess this depends on whether this is a set of domains that anyone can sign up for an address on, or whether they own the domain.
Gmail also restricted all usernames that it's employees used and all popular names. More because they figured it would lead to confusion, I know the guy who had dave@yahoo and even a decade ago it was nearly useless with people typing it into random websites thinking it was theirs or people emailing it mistakenly for other folks etc. Maybe that's specific to the largest providers.
