  I think WordPress is just suggesting that you use evoilaa.com, you can change the domain to whatever you wish (provided it is available)

  Register a New Domain

  So try typing in evoilablog.com instead of evoilaa.com when it asks you to register a domain.

  Ok, great! I did found out that i could do it that way, but i was afraid that I would create a domain that it’s not attached to my blog.
  But it will just change my blog’s name, not creat another, right?
  Thanks!

  Right, it will not create a new blog, just a new name.
