  That’s not possible if you deleted the URL because URLs are not recycled regardless of who created and deleted them.

  If you do change your blog address, permalinks to your old address, including search engine results, will be broken unless you purchase a Site Redirect upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  If you did not delete the URL and what you are asking is how to change the site title, not the URL then read on. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same. The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General
  “save changes”
  That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed.
