  Hi Susanne!

  You can do that following the instructions here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Please read the instructions carefully. Some options render your previous blog address unusable.

  Hi Jeremy,

  i read it all, and i am not sure about the procedure.
  I don´t want to change my username, and also do not want to change the adress of my primary blog majorneryz.com

  I just want to change the adress of one other blog i created under the adress majorneryzleo.wordpress.com to leo-und-luzi.wordpress.com
  Is that possible without changing my username?
  I am a bit afraid of loosing that name which i absolutely want to keep.

  Thank you so much for your help!

  Hi Susanne!

  I just want to change the adress of one other blog i created under the address majorneryzleo.wordpress.com to leo-und-luzi.wordpress.com. Is that possible without changing my username?

  Yep! You’ll just want to pay special attention to steps 6 and 7.

  Specifically, on step #6, you’ll be asked if you want to register a matching username. You’ll want to select “no.”

  On step #7, you’ll be asked if you want to discard your current address (majorneryzleo.wordpress.com). You want to leave that box unchecked.

  Once you’re finished, you’ll have your new site address along with your old site address majorneryzleo.wordpress.com under the username majorneryz.

  Thank you very much!
  And it is sure that the adresses of my other blogs (especially majorneryz.com which i paid for) will not be changed by this procedure?

  Many thanks to you, you held me so much!
