  How can I register a blog name that was reserved and doesn’t exist as a site?

  Log into the account that the blog name is reserved for and then create the blog.

  I meant reserved by someone else – but with my name

  Then you need to contact that person and get them to register the blog then transfer it to you. But I doubt you are the only Bob…. in the world so it might also be THEIR name.

  WordPress.COM will not help you contact the account owner for privacy reasons.

  Your other option is to register a custom domain name and map it to a blog here
