  Instructions to change your blog URL are found in this support doc: http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Please make sure you read the support doc and all instructions and warnings carefully as this process cannot be reversed.

  When prompted whether you’d like to keep the old URL or delete it, make sure you select to keep it as deleted URLs can never be recovered: http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  As part of the process you’ll also have the option to change your username to match the new address. Note that if you do this your current username will cease to exist and you won’t later be able to go back to it. If you prefer, you can also keep your username what it is and simply change your display name (what will appear next to comments – on the forum it will still be the actual username that appears). Instructions to do that can be found here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/
