  I just created a new WordPress.com account, using an email I want to keep, and a user name I’ve now been advised not to use. It’s been suggested to use my name instead, rather than my domain name, and I like that idea. So, I want to delete my current user name, but keep the email. How can I do this, quickly and easily? Should I close my account entirely, or is there another method?

  You can change the username on your account here: https://wordpress.com/me/account
  This does change your login name and your name here in the forums, but the email does not change.

  To just change the display name, change here: https://wordpress.com/me/
