One quick point of clarification — I am assuming that you want to register an available domain name, vs. acquiring a domain that is already owned by another party. One tip I use for checking whether a domain is available is just appending it to the website whois.sc. So if you want to see if JamieFigler.com is available, you can punch in whois.sc/jamiefigler.com where you'll see that it's available for registration. If it were taken (by another person), you'd have to negotiate with the owner to purchase it.
In terms of registration website ("registrars"), I think that all of the options in this thread are probably good (Hover, Namcheap, Google Domains, etc). Each will offer slightly different pricing, ability to enable 2FA, associated add-ons and services, etc — but you're fundamentally getting the same thing.
I would recommend against buying your domain name "bundled" alongside any other service. For instance, website builders like Squarespace or Wix will sometimes offer a "free" domain along their other services, which can be annoying if you decide you want to leave their platform.
Good luck and have fun!
