The top 10 trending keywords registered in .COM and .NET domain names during the month of March 2018 were published by Verisign, the .com and .net registry.
There are no common keywords in the 2 lists.
You can find the list from last month here.
My experience shows that 700 or 800 (or even less) domain registrations are enough to bring a keyword into the top 10.

*Note: Each list was developed by examining keyword registration growth relative to the preceding month, such that those keywords with the highest percentage of registration growth are being reported on. This method is used to eliminate commonly registered keywords, such as “online” and “shop,” to provide a true look at monthly trends. In order to be included, a keyword must experience a minimum threshold in registration growth month over month. Qualifying keywords with the highest volume of registrations are then ranked and included in the list.

Fortnite is now a popular online “battle royal” PC game, hence the interest in such domain names. A number of people may be developing fan websites.
Ah, that probably explains it. Was wondering.
