  Hello !

  I’m trying to change the name (and URL) of my blog but when I try, it says ¨Sorry, this website is reserved¨.

  However, when I type it (anoukv.wordpress.com), it says there is no website existing !

  Is this normal ? How can I ask for the domain ?

  Thanks

  Yes it’s normal. wordpress.com automatically reserve the domain anoukv.wordpress.com to the user who owns the username anoukv.

  Unless you already own the account with that username, you’ll need to choose a different, unique address for your site.

  Thanks for your fast reply !

  Anoukv is not my wordpress username, unfortunately. Is there any chance I can contact the user with the name ? How ? Can she give me the website URL without changing her username ?

  I’m not so sure but I strongly believe you can’t do that.
