  I tried creating a new blog and wordpress indicated that the blog name was unavailable, but when I tried to type the name in as a URL it said the blog had been deleted by it’s authors. Shouldn’t this make the blog name available again?

  No, WordPress.com does not recycle names. Once a blog has been deleted, its name is gone forever.
  Here is an explanation:
