  Hi there – Usernames can only be used once. If a username is changed, it’s not possible to go back to the previous username. A disclaimer about that here: https://wordpress.com/support/change-your-username/

  When you go to change your username, we present this important text below starting with “Please Read Carefully”: https://d.pr/i/qdrvRQ
