  I currently have graysonbellauthor.wordpress.com, although I’d prefer to use graysonbell.wordpress.com. I see that the latter has been suspended. Is there any way I could claim graysonbell.wordpress.com and use that for my website?

  Hi there, the short answer is no. Suspended site addresses are not released to anyone but the current site owner if and when their suspension is removed by the Terms of Service team. There is no time limit for this.

  Once the suspension is lifted, you can then contact the site owner to ask if they would be willing to transfer ownership of the site to you following this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/ If you do not receive a reply or the reply is negative, nothing further can be done.

  Hope that helps answer your question.
