Is there a trademark issue with using names like Yahoo and Google as prefixes on domain names. ex. Googlenic.com
 
Don't even think about it. Actually, simply ***hoo.com will get you in big trouble, not to say the rest.
 
Search the WIPO decisions. Yahoo aggressively goes after anything with their "yahoo" in it.

There is www.YooHoo.net --the chocolate drink--and www.WaHoo.com --the studio. Plus a lot of commonly used phrases that contain similiar letters.

No doubt though--you definitely shouldn't try and register something with "Google" or "Yahoo" in the name though.
That's just asking for trouble.
