  I have 1 account (account A) with WordPress. I have two blogs under account A. I would like to have 2 blogs under account A but with TWO user names.
  Ie. I would like to post under two blog names for two differing blogs, under one account.
  Is this possible?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes. You need to sign out of one, create a new user, sign out of that, shin in to the first and transfer the blog. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  With two separate users there will be a lot of logging in and out unless you run two browsers (e.g. one blog signed in on IE and the other in Chrome), but they will be completely separate.

  Hello, thank you for your reply, however, I don’t wish to transfer the blog, I want to be able to post on 2 topics as 2 different names under my one wordpress account. From my research it doesn’t look like that’s possible but i really don’t wnt to have to run 2 separate blogs altogether. Does that make sense? Do you know if it’s possible? ie:
  the name that appears on all blog posts is ‘mybeautifulboots’
  I have 2 blogs, one about boots (name is fine) and one about digital fashion.
  The latter I would prefer to have another name appear on the posts like ‘digitalfashionfollower’ for example. Is this possible?
  Currently, if I post from either, the name is ‘mybeautifulboots’.
  Can you help?

  It is possible.
  You need to set up another user (log out and sign up again). You need a different email address to do this. Next log out of the new user, log into the original and invite the new user to your blog. Dashboard Users->Invite new. If the other user is “you” you may as well invite as an administrator so you can do almost everything from either user.

  Now you will be able to post as either user. Again you can either log out of one and log into the other each time you need to switch, or use two browsers with one user logged in to each.
