  If it has been deleted nobody can use it again see http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  You could use a custom domain mapping though

  Custom domain mapping is where you use the WordPress domain mapping upgrade to map a domain like martineogolav.com to your site. People like this because it looks more professional without the “.wordpress.com”, and it gives you more flexibility, for example you can use third-party solutions to give you email addresses with @martineogolav.com on the ned.

  This costs $17 a year if WordPress register the domain for you or $12 a year if you already have a domain hosted somewhere leske
