They certainly can. If you ever become very successful with it plan on being screwed. Trademarks are something to stay away from in your domain name.

I think you can use Twitter for example because that's a verb, a noun and it has something to do with birds. But YOUTUBE is so branded to Google that yes, they can ask you to cease and desist.
