  You can always add a new domain to your site here:

  https://marsgyrlteen.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Register a New Domain

  Also, I’d be happy to cancel marsgyrlteen.com if you no longer require it.

  Before I proceed, there are a few points I need to cover.

  If we cancel your domain, it can take up to several weeks for our domain registrar to release the domain, and we can’t guarantee that your domain will be available to you again, once canceled.

  If you want to keep using your domain, but you don’t want to use WordPress.com anymore, you don’t have to cancel it. Instead, you can move the domain to another site, using the Domain Administration tool under Store > Domains, at the bottom of the page.

  For more information on using the domain elsewhere, please see:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/

  Once you confirm how you’d like to proceed, I will get started processing your transaction.

  Yes, I would like to cancel the domain marsgyrlteen.com. I have renamed the blog and would like to keep janiesdaughter.wordpress.com
