  Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but if as a part of the process of changing your blog address you chose to discard your original address, the old address becomes unavailable.

  See point 7 in this Support doc http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  You can, of course, change the NAME simply by going to Settings->General and changing it there.

  This URL changing capacity has resulted in more deleted (and regretted) blogs than anything I’ve ever seen. That’s why I never suggest it, ever.

  Totally! Unfortunately, most people arriving here are posting about their problem after they’ve already done it.

  Yep. This whole procedure has a huge built-in No Win. And you never know till it’s too late.
