  Good morning!
  That is not possible, BUT..
  You COULD create a new /*somethingorother*/.wordpress.com then move the content from http://jordanhesse.wordpress.com/ to /*somethingorother*/.wordpress.com

  Start by creating your new blog
  Then export your old blog:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
  Then import it to /*somethingorother*/.wordpress.com following these:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

  And leave http://jordanhesse.wordpress.com/ inactive.
  See:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/media/deleting-files/
  and:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  Let us know how it works out!
