  I’m afraid you are out of luck. Once a domain has been used and discarded, it doesn’t go back into the “available” pile. This is to prevent people’s enemies from grabbing their discarded blog names and posing as them, among other good reasons.

  The deletion notice is very clear about the fact that once you delete a particular blog, you can’t get a blog with that name again.

  What you might be able to do which could be better for you in the long run is to buy a domain with the WordPress.com paid domain name upgrade. I think it’s ten dollars: check the FAQs and use the search box to get the exact details. Then you could have “zenki.com” instead!

  With the purchase of the domain, it’s $15. if you already have the domain, it’s the $10 price point.

  five bucks for a domain isn’t all that bad…
