  Hi. I want to change the domain “http://larnicolmarion.wordpress.com” as “misspapayeverte.wordpress.com” or just “papayeverte”.
  Even if I write it on my settings, I can not have access to it from Internet and nothing changes. Could you help me please ? I can’t choose the name domain then. Thanks for your help.

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

  You must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered any blog to access it and purchase a domain mapping upgrade for it.

  See here please for the process required to purchase a domain mapping upgrade > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient. Note that it’s quite common for your own ISP to be last one to flush their DNS caches.

  I want to keep the “wordpress.com” and not to buy a domain without. I just can’t choose the name I want because it’s my name and surname in the address. Don’t want my name in the full address. How could I change it ?

  misspapayeverte.wordpress.com doesn’t exist

  The address misspapayeverte.wordpress.com cannot be registered. Sorry, that site is reserved!

  Looks like it is reserved for you – when you open an account, a blog is reserved for you – I think you might want to just create the blog reserved then transfer any contents using Export / Import
