  You can’t use that username; it’s already in use since Apr 25, 2014

  Hi there,

  Thank you for writing to us.

  Hm, this error message is not familiar for me for username change.

  Have you tried these instructions to change your username:

  Also, I believe the raysys username is already taken: https://wordpress.com/forums/users/raysys/
