  I deleted my blog because of technical problems.
  I wish to get the name for the blog back.
  There was no content on that blog, so i deleted it, to restart.
  Is there any chance to get the name back.
  It’s my lastname, so there are no problems with rightholder.
  If I had known, that the blogname will be closed forever and for anybody, I won’t have deleted him.

  Please give some help, if possible
  Blog url: http://nycmarathon2011.wordpress.com/

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

  No, there is no chance. That is why it warns you several times that deleting things is permanent. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/can-i-still-use-the-domain-name-if-i-accidentally-deleted-my-blog?replies=2#post-954966

  Read what’s clearly stated here:
  Deleting a blog is forever, the URL cannot be recycled and reused.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain vis a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
