It's not "obscure" TLDs in general you need to avoid (although, .com really isn't that hard. go with getname.com or nameapp.com or something if name.com is taken for you) it's cc. There used to be a company that offered free subdomains on .co.cc and they were heavily used for spam. The vast majority of .cc sites you encountered were spam. It was a while a go but it made a noticeable ".cc = spam" impression in a lot of peoples minds.
