Claimed website name which isn’t even online

    Hello,

    Today I decides to create a website on your site and came to the conclusion that lukemcduck.wordpress.com was already served by someone.
    Never have I ever had any problems with this on other website, since it’s a very unique username. I use this name on every website – Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and YouTube.

    Since that the website isn’t online and I really doubt it will be really used by someone, is there a possibility that I could claim the name? I would really appreciate it so I still have the same name everywhere, and so people can find my website easier.

    I hope to hear from you.
    Sincerely,

    Luke McDuck

    I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet
