  Hi, my only guess is that you picked that option in the setup. You should be able to rename the site if you’d like:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Just note you would want to rename the existing site, rather than creating a new site, unless you want to keep both names for whatever reason.

  Let us know if you have any trouble.

  Thank you for you help.
  I am sure I did pick the .home.blog, but it seems that i wasn’t even given an option to choose the .wordpress.com
  If I try create a new one with that name it still does not give me the option.
  I am very confused 😐

  Hi there,

  Have you tried typing the whole address? Like for example mywpsite.wordpress.com

  If this still doesn’t work or you have more questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help!
