  Hi, there’s a user/blog name that I was hoping to use but it looks like it was in use at some point but has now been deleted. I just wanted to check that the answer that I’ve found elsewhere still applies or (hopefully) the rules might have changed since – can these deleted names become available by request? Seems silly to not allow this if they’re not being used.

  thanks
  W

  Same rules – once a blog name is deleted it is gone forever even from the original owner.

  You be welcome

  You can map a domain name to a blog here ($ 17-/year + private registration if wanted) – or pick a name that is close –

  Yup thanks – I’ll be mapping a real domain.

  Really it was the username that I wanted for the blog. Actually the username is tied to the url name isn’t? (if the url isn’t available, the username won’t be as well)?

  I think the username is reserved based on a blog name and the reverse is also true I think.
