  Hi there,

  I believe the problem is stemming from what extensions we accept here: .com, .org., .net., and .me. See this doc for a bit more information:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/register-domain/#before-upgrading-important-notes

  If you want to register a different extension (like, .co.uk, for example), you’ll have to purchase the domain name at another registrar, and then map to your WordPress.com blog. A domain registrar is GoDaddy.com, or 1and1.com.

  Let me know if you need any additional help walking through these steps!

  Cheers,
