  I want to create a blog with the name IDAVIA, and the sistem says that blog name already exists (wwww.idavia.wordpress.com). I search it, and what I found is the following:
  idavia.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  Is there any way I can use that name, with the basic blogging package? If it’s not longer being used, and the authors have deleted it, it is supposed it can be reused…

  Thanks in advance for your answer. Regards,
  Linda

  That’s not possible. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  However, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
