  Hi there,

  There are several options for you to consider when changing a blog’s name. One is to change the site address name (part in bold is your site name), chukkiskitchen.wordpress.com, to something different.

  Another is to add a custom domain name to your account. Instead of chukkiskitchen.wordpress.com your site name could be chukkiskitchen.com and still connect to your current site.

  You wouldn’t loose any members, etc. with either option.

  Here are some helpful support pages for you to review as you decide what to do next.

  As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
