  I would like to change the web address of my blog to a name that “is no longer available”. I assume that someone had that name in the past. Is there any way that we can make it available again?

  The username and address I would like is: joyfullyeverafter.wordpress.com

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

  joyfullyeverafter.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  That’s not possible. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  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.
