  I may have made a rookie mistake- I had a blog: kellystrona.wordpress.com. I no longer use it, and would rather create a wordpress website using that same name. I deleted it, and now it seems like I can’t re-use that name with the new site I am creating. Is this correct? Or is there some way to remedy this situation and use that address for the site I am re-building from the bottom-up?

  Hi there,

  Once you delete a WordPress account the blog address becomes unavailable. The blog addresses are not recycled.

  I don’t think its possible to have that address again until it becomes available again. Please check this link which talks about blog address recycling policy.

  Hope you can find another address you like.
