    I would like to use the domain name http://janandjay.wordpress.com however, someone has an unused blog with that name. It’s about 2 years old with no posts. Is there anyway I could use that domain name? Thanks for any help.

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

    No. WordPress.com won’t take a blog/url/name away from one user to give to another.

    The account may be used to view a private blog. Or it may be used for jetpack by a WordPress.ORG user. Or it may be an account someone will want to use in future. There are no expiration dates for urls here.

    You could try domain mapping, a paid upgrade, if that domain is available:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

    Or, for free, you could make a new blog with a similar name. Add a number before or after the name. Or change a letter to a number. Or add a word, for example janandjayspeak.wordpress.com.
