How can I delete the site, but keep it available for client to use it?

    I am learning WordPress and wanted to set up a dummy site that uses real life information so I would run into real life problems and really know what I was doing. The problem is that when I set everything up, it didn’t occur to me that the name could never be used again (I was just trying to practice). When it occurred to me that the client whose info I am using may one day want to use the address, I tried to delete it only to be told that it would be permanent and no one could ever use it again. I didn’t tell them that I was setting up the dummy account (as I didn’t think it was a big deal) and I would feel bad if they couldn’t use their own name. How can I delete my association with it without keeping them from being able to use it?
    Also, I want to keep my username, but the options are 1. create a new username 2. change the current username or 3. No (matching username). Shouldn’t there be a 4. yes, match (keep) username option?

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

    Each username account has a single email address associated with it, a single gravatar and only one primary blog can be linked to the username.

    To disassociate blogs currently registered under the same username accounts see here for step by step instructions http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/08/14/separate-username-accounts-separate-blogs/

    You log out, clear your browser cache and cookies, and then register another username account under a different email address. Then you transfer the blog to it.
