  I need to change my blog name before I upgrade to the premium version. How can I do that? I need it to be toureatdrink.com rather than toureatdrink2.com

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

  Someone already owns that domain (toureatdrink.com) You won’t be able to register it unless you can buy it from the current owner.

  Maybe think of something else similar?

  Also there are other top level domains (TLD) available besides COM. See here for what WPcom offers: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#available-domains

  As tt said, the domain mapping upgrade is how you will need to go. It’s included in the Premium Bundle upgrade.

  @tt-no worries. The OP apparently posted to the other thread after this one. :)

  Thanks for your good wishes. Life continues to be very full and focused elsewhere for the moment. So it goes. Hope you are well and happy, too.
