How can I change my URL to a web address I accidentally reserved?

    I want to change my URL but I reserved it on accident. I stupidly set my URL as nellenetterville.wordpress.com. I did this because I thought the URL would be based off of my username not my email (by the way that is not the smartest default idea for your site). I then set my web address to nellenet.wordpress.com in my settings but that didn’t change my URL. When I tried to change my URL through my dashboard it says that nellenet.wordpress.com is reserved. I don’t understand why I cant change my blog URL to this web address if I’m the one that reserved it. I then tried to create a new username to try and reset the blog address but that just ruined my original username of nellenet and with no help in resolving my original issue. I do not want the URL nellenetterville.worpress.com I want nellenet.wordpress.com. How can I resolve this issue?

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

    You lost me there – but maybe the staff can sort it out – I have flagged this for the staff to help you

    Hi there,

    According to our records, your original username was nellenet, and you later renamed your account to janelle92. I’m very sorry, but the nellenet account has been deleted and therefore it’s not possible to use the matching blog address nellenet.wordpress.com.

    If you’d like, you are welcome to use a custom domain with any blog, in which case the underlying WordPress.com address will not be displayed to visitors: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
