How do I change the subdomain?

    Registration form added “dotcom” to the end of my subdomain and when I try to change it, I’m told that it is reserved.

    Example:
    I wanted my site to be: mysubdomain . wordpress . com
    Instead, for some reason it came out as mysubdomaindotcom . wordpress . com

    How do I fix this?

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

    if the subdomain you want to register has already been registered or is reserved for the person with the matching username account then the software providess that kind of dotcom.wordpress.com URL.

    https://goadriango.wordpress.com doesn’t exist
    The address goadriango.wordpress.com cannot be registered. Sorry, that site is reserved! But you can sign up and choose another one.

    When we register a username account the matching blog is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.

    If and only if you have the matching username account then the blog is reserved for you and you will be able to log in appropriately and register it after logging in under the correct username account.
    https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1

    However, if you changed your username then the blog URL will not be available for use under the new username account.
