  is it possible to take the name of an unused WordPress free blog, it has not been used since 2010, I have emailed them directly, with no response as of yet, but would like to change my WordPress name to what they do not use.

  Hi,
  can we have the blog url you want to use ?

  I am flagging you to modlook. They can guide you on this properly.

  Please have patience until someone from staff support replies.

  If they do happen to reply make sure you ask them to transfer the site to your account. If it was to be deleted no one could use the address again. But otherwise WordPress.com won’t release an existing address to someone else no matter how long it has been inactive. If you want a free site here you could create a site with a similar address but with a .blog subdomain like .sport.blog?

  But there’s nothing preventing you creating another one.

  True i just wanted that name instead of what I have, it is all a preference.
