Change website name to deleted blog name
-
It was quite a while since I last used wordpress so I’m feeling like a newby.
The issue is that I want to change my blog name. I had set up a blog with the name I want to change to, some time ago which I just deleted so that I could use the name. But now it says that the blogger name is already taken :o
I remember a rule where you’d have to wait a month until being able to use deleted blog’s names. Is that’s why I can’t use that name right now? Would appreciate help. Thank you!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

https://lailaloveslondon.wordpress.com is no longer available.
The authors have deleted this site.What you ask for is not possible as you ignored all the warnings and deleted the site https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/, rather than emptying it https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
Deleting a blog URL is not easily done and multiple warnings that deletion is intended to be permanent and non-reversible are given all along the way. An email with a link in it that must be clicked to delete the site is sent and if clicked the URL is gone.
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
