  If you mean a blog’s address such as XXXX.wordpress.com, when you enter the desired name in the “Add a New Site” box, it will tell you if that name is already taken.
  https://signup.wordpress.com/start/?step=step-home

  Signing up from that page will add an additional site to the WPcom Account you are currently logged in with.

  Of course, just going to the WPcom site address in question is also a good way to check. :) If it’s not registered and you are logged in with your WPcom account, you’ll see a notice asking you if you want to register it.

  Let us know if you need more help with that.
