  Hello there,

  Could you tell me the new address you would like to use for your site?

  Hi there, on WordPress.com when you set a username for yourself (like @jfcanda07) we reserve the matching URL for that username. For example, no one but you can register jfcanda07.wordpress.com because we reserved that URL in case you want a site address that matches your username.

  That is also the case with jhorjhacanda.wordpress.com, which is reserved for the user @jhorjhacanda to use if they wish. They have not created a site with that URL but because it matches their username it’s not available for others to register. You are welcome to change your site address to something else if you wish, but jhorjhacanda.wordpress.com is reserved and you will not be able to use it on this account.

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
