  Once a blog is deleted, it is gone forever. WordPress does not recycle blog names:

  You could sign up for a similar name, say with a number before or after it.

  Sorry its a no go please refer to the following documentation Delete Blog

  If you delete a blog you will not be able to get it back and no one else will be able to use that blog address. You must be sure you never want to use the blog again if you delete it.

  Or use certain numbers in replacement of certain letters for example you could replace “T” with “7” or “E” with “3” and so on

  As sl1k pointed out 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.
