  Hello, wordpress. I’m trying to name my name blog by “fonsecando.wordpress.com”, but WordPress says that I can’t use that name because it already belongs to someone. However, when I type this URL, it says that the pane no longer exists. Therefore, why can’t I use that name?

  Thanks,
  Mariana Fonseca

  fonsecando.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  WordPress does not reuse or resurrect deleted urls:

  You could try a variation, perhaps adding a number before or after, or substitute a letter with a number.

  You could purchase domain mapping so that the underlying url doesn’t matter: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
