  When you register a username with WP.com, the corresponding blog name is also reserved. How then do you then use that blog name? All I get is the ‘create a new blog’ option. I can’t see where to start using the blog name that matches my username.

  “Reserved Blog Names/URLs
  When a WordPress.com user signs up for an account we reserve the URL of their username. So if they signed up for the username of exampleuser we would reserve exampleuser.wordpress.com for them.”

  if and only if you own the exact matching username account https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/darrenmathews that registered that blog and who is the Admin of that blog, I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance.
