The same way they know that Google chose google.com and Twitter chose twitter.com instead of twitter.io or something else.

This is referring to something else I think, how to transfer .com's into a blockchain while preserving ownership, is that right? That could be done (if needed) with a centralized registrar whose job it was to vet the ownership of the names upon first registration in some namespace. After the initial registration, control would be transferred to the owner of the domain. This is again, however, specific to the case of migrating ICANN domains (if someone wants to do that).
