There are squillions of registered names with Jagex.
You shouldn't be trying names like Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy (did you see the Sheryl Crow thing I did there?)
I read a brief guide somewhere that I vaguely remember saying that if you add a name to your friends list and it returns a message saying something along the lines of "player not found" that the name would be available for the taking. I have had no such luck though. I found some really good names that are seemingly no longer bound to a player but are still unavailable i.e.; the name "Q".
