  It looks like that domain name poorgirlstyle.wordpress.com is already taken which is why you cannot change your site name to that URL.

  You could try leaving a comment on an open post or contact form on that site to ask whether the current owner would be willing to transfer the site to you. If they are, they can follow this guide to do so. https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  If they aren’t willing to transfer the site to you, you’ll need to choose another site URL.

  Hi There,
  I just took a look at PoorGirlStyle.fashion.blog and it transfers to a WordPress.com site. It appears as though that address is available. I cannot find any information currently on the fashion.blog domains that could help you as they are fairly new. I have tagged staff for you, so that they can look into this one for you.
  Thanks

  Staff advised earlier that free subdomains of dotblog, like .fashion.blog. or .sports.blog, were available for a limited test period, but are no longer available.

  Regardless, it is possible to purchase a custom domain like poorgirlfashiondotblog and then map it to your WordPressdotcom site. With a custom domain it really doesn’t matter what the underlying WordPressdotcom site URL is.

  Here’s more information about custom domains, which is a paid upgrade here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
