  I want to start a blog called “**********.wordpress.com”.
  When I go in to register a new blog it says it’s not available.
  When I open my browser and type the address (www.playinghouse.wordpres.com) in, it goes to a wordpress site and says:
  “**********.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this blog.”

  If a user has deleted a blog, can I not register it’s domain name?

  Please advise.

  Thank you,
  Monica

  I’m sorry, we do not reuse or reassign deleted blog names on WordPress.com. You will need to select a different blog name. Keep in mind we also offer an upgrade for custom domain names and you can use any WordPress.com blog URL underneath a custom domain.
