  Hello.

  I have a name for my future blog, but it’s alredy taken. Looking in the address I saw this message: “… is no longer avaliable. The authors have deleted this blog.”

  Can I register that? Is it possible?

  No it’s not possible. Once a WordPrress.com blog is deleted it’s gone forever and the URL cannot be recycled and reused by anyone.
