Site address with my legal name not available

  • Unknown's avatar

    I would like to change my site address to one that includes my full name. However, the address is unavailable. Looking into it further, apparently a site with that address has been ‘archived or suspended’. I would be surprised if somebody else has created a website using that name, considering my name legal name is very rare and unique. I am guessing that I created a website with a different account the site address but cannot remember the log in details.

    Is there any way I can restore the site address and use it for my current website? Perhaps I could provide proof of the fact that my name is my legal name?

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes
