There are a number of Nostr identity providers in the wild, but this problem has not been solved in an interoperable way. DVMs can actually work perfectly for this, since it provides the request/response flow that's needed, and it would potentially enable clients to register a NIP-05 for users during onboarding.

Due to the flexible nature of DVMs, it is possible to discover specific names that are available, or to enter a query that DVMs will respond to with suggestions.

Read here.

P.S. I implemented a very basic form of this idea here (still WIP): https://gitlab.com/alexgleason/coolnames/-/blob/main/src/pipeline.ts
