You can use whatever you want for your domain name. The most important thing is going to be the content you end up putting on the site.
My recommendation: using an abbreviation is fine if it's commonplace (NY for New York) but I would avoid it if you are just sort of making it up (nchs for nachos).
Focus on creating a name that is unique and memorable for your site. I wouldn't worry too much about the name 'for seo' unless you are getting an exact match which still carries some weight for the time being.
