  I want to change my username, but I can’t. I get the message “this website already exists.” And that is right, because it is my own website. How can I fix this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Alternatively you can change the name displayed on your posts and comments by changing the “display name” on your Personal Settings admin panel: http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/#change-display-name-nickname

  If you need to change your actual username, let me know what you want it to be.

  Looking forward to your reply.
