  Hi,

  Today I wanted to create a blog. The desired name was: brightonbaby. But wordpress claimed this name was taken. I googled it and found out that the creators of the brightonbaby site deleted their page.
  Is there any chance that I can register this name for my new blog?
  Thanks for your help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Nope:

  Addresses (URLs) for blogs that have been deleted by the owner will remain deleted. We cannot, under any circumstances, allow someone to take over the address of a blog that was owned and deleted by its original/previous owner. Please do not submit support requests asking us to do this.
