  Hello

  You can change your blog address by following the steps found at https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  However, it looks like theexile.wordpress.com is already registered to someone, perhaps you? Do you have multiple site options under the “My Sites” menu in the upper left hand corner when you are logged into WordPress.com?

  I’m going to tag this for staff to take a look because it looks like your desired name is tied to your username, jtheexile.

  Hi there,

  theexile.wordpress.com is reserved for the person with the username, theexile. Only that person will be able to use that address. That username has been in use since 2007.

  @melindahelt

  The OP’s username is jtheexile, not theexile :)
