Moving X.WordPress.com to new acct; how to make new acct with username X?
-
I want to transfer my blog to another account of mine, so I have a username that corresponds to the name of the blog. I can’t create a new account with that username, because that blog already exists.
I.e., I created the blog http://imcuriousaboutpeople.wordpress.com/ under an account I already had. I want to be able to post comments to that blog with the username “imcuriousaboutpeople”. Apparently I can’t do that unless I move that blog to a new account. But I can’t create the account “imcuriousaboutpeople,” apparently because a blog already exists with that name.
Is there another way to do what I want to do?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
Every blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog under that username account. The blog’s owner can transfer the blog another username account > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-accountTo transfer a blog from one username account A to another username account B you must first log in under the username account A that owns the blog you want to transfer to the other username account.
Then you add the other username account B as an Admin of the blog.
adding users http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/
user roles http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/Then you A can use this process to transfer the blog to that username account B instead http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

Right, thanks, I got that.
The problem I’m running into is this: I created a username account A (and created a blog, A.WordPress.com).
Under account A, I created blog B.
Now I want to post comments to blog B under the username B. But — if I’m understanding things right — I can’t create a sub account under A, and call it username B.
So I created an e-mail address (email visible only to moderators and staff), and sent an invitation to be an admin of blog B. The e-mail says I have to create a user account.
But when I tried to create a username account B, I got an error message saying that that username already existed. So I can’t create username account B, so I can’t go through the process you’re describing and get the result I want.
The only work around I’ve found is to post a comment and choose the “screen name” B. That’s going to be annoying, if I have to do that every time I want to comment.
