How do I change my blog address but still keep my username?
-
I’m trying to change the blog address, but the site will not allow me to keep my current username! I also tried to change my username completely, but it said that I can’t use my current email address. I followed all the steps, but nothing is working.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I wish you had posted actual URLs as that would have made answering your question much easier.
When we register a username account the matching blog URL is reserved for our use. But this does not work the opposite way around.
Blog names are the same as usernames for the most part. Usernames can be turned into blog names, but blog names cannot be turned into usernames.
You can register any other username and move your blog to it following the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account but you won’t be able to a matching username if the .wordpress.com blog already exists and you did not register it under another username account.

If you want to change your current blog name to the name of an existing blog, you can’t do that.
You can transfer the content from one blog to the other blog using the Export / Import function
