  Hi there,

  You can change your site name here by clicking the subdomain name:
  https://wordpress.com/domains/manage
  Please note, once you change your site address, it will no longer be available. Before you confirm the change, please read this important information.

  If you want to create a fresh one, you could start here:
  https://wordpress.com/start

  Hope this helps!

  Hi — thanks for this but it still isn’t working — even when I “start new” it still has me purchasing the original domain name I came up with (which I no longer want) — when I go to the page to change the domain it won’t let me (maybe because I never purchased it?) Do I have to start all over with a new e-mail address? Man I’ve wasted so much time trying to set this up…

  Hi there,

  I have removed the domain name you selected from the checkout cart and you can now go ahead and select another one.

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you. I’m happy to help.
