    I am trying to get a domain with simply my own name, but a Japanese blogger has it. Is there any way to possibly get them to change it? I can’t even read their blog because it’s in Japanese. I find it odd they have my name as their domain.

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    There is no way you can claim someone else’s domain. Also I don’t think you are the only Hilary Briscoe on our planet.

    Best solution is looking for another tld.

    Hi there!

    If the domain you wish to use is already registered, you won’t be able to use that domain unless the current owner sells it to you. Otherwise, your only option is to register a new domain.

    If you’re looking for the .com version of the domain, perhaps you can consider using a different TLD? TLD refers to the end of the domain. For example, on WordPress.com, the last “.com” is called the TLD. You can register .net, .org, and many other TLDs.

    Please click the link below to see a list of available TLDs for you to register on WordPress.com:
