  I started a new blog, but had the name wrong. I wanted to start over and deleted the blog. Now it seems I can’t get the original name back.
  Can anyone help me with this please.

  Thank you Lizane

  Hi there. If you deleted it, it is gone. Deleted blogs can never be used again, not even by the original owner. This was stated in all the warning messages and the confirmation email you received while deleting the site. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Hi,
  Unfortunately when you delete a blog, you cannot have the name back anymore.
  But as I understand, you wanted to change the name of the URL since you got the name wrong in first place, right? If this is the case, you should be able to create a new blog with the correct name (unless the new name is already taken by another blogger, in which case, you would need to find another name)

  I hope this helps.
