site name

I get that I can’t name my new site glitterlaine.com, but I own that domain and it was previously in use so I would like it to be as close to that as possible using the free plan. Can I have this one tho twas just created glitterlainesite.wordpress.com be changed to glitterlaine.wordpress.com since it isn’t an active domain?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

glitterlaine.com is hosted by Etsy, not by wordpress.COM
Name Servers:
dns1.registrar-servers.com
dns2.registrar-servers.comTo use any existing custom domain on any wordpress.COM hosted site requires an upgraded plan that provides for mapping an existing domain.
There is no such thing as mapping an existing domain free of charge so be clear on that.
WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/
We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for each of your sites here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.
How domain mapping works
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.
WordPress.com does not provide an email service for blogs on their sub domains or on custom domains. Please see these support docs

https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-forwarding/Please go to https://wordpress.com/pricing/ if you wish to upgrade.

http://glitterlaine.wordpress.com is no longer available.
The authors have deleted this site.Deleting a URL is intended to be a permanent act and that is why warnings are given that one has to ignore to delete a site.
Deleted wordpress.COM blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
Know that it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
