  Names are rarely unique. if you think your registered it before you can use account recovery. You can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
  and click the “Need More Help” link and complete the form for account recovery. https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery
  If you did not register it then I’m sorry but you will have to select another one if that’s the case.

  Thanks for your help. I’m sure it’s a unique name but that’s not the problem. I registered it but I don’t have the proof of ownership because I deleted all my emails.

  I assume wanted to register alinakg.wordpress.com? If you are logged in as alinakg you should be able to register that address at http://wordpress.com/signup .

  Could you please give it another try?

  That user name is blocked too because I used it and than I changed it. Is there a way to use that again and then register the domain?

  Done :)

  If you don’t have access to your account or forgot the password, you can request a new password by entering your email address here: http://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  Once logged in you can register new blog name at http://wordpress.com/signup
