  Hi all, I can’t seem to figure out how I should be able to change my username to the same that my blog has because I changed my blog-adress to something different than my username in the first place. So it’s a bit confusing indeed :)
  But since I’m an owner of the blogadress kokosapa.wordpress.com I should also be able to change my username to kokosapa in some way? Or is this out of the question since I had another username when I made the blog?
  Thanks in advance!

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

  Please see what Staff (macmanx) said here:

  Blog names are the same as usernames for the most part. Usernames can be turned into blog names, but blog names cannot be turned into usernames.

  You can register any other username and move your blog to it following the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account but you won’t be able to register … https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/cant-change-username-because-i-use-same-display-name?replies=5#post-694997
