  Hi there,
  Site titles and Taglines locates here > Settings > General can easily be changed at any time.

  Not so, when it comes to changing URLs.

  Option 1
  See here and read everything very carefully at least twice before doing anything > changing a blog address > http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Option 2
  You can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
