    Hi kmilligan11,

    WordPress.com site names only accept lowercase letters(a-z) and numbers (0-9). Dashes, underscore, and special characters are not allowed in domain names.

    I also added a modlook tag here to have one of our staff members confirm the information.

    Best!

    Hi there,

    The answer @arzuozbekakay gave you above is correct – site addresses containing a hyphen is not allowed on WordPress.com. However, you can use it in a custom domain like anxiety-driven.com, should you want to upgrade.

    The address, https://anxietydriven.wordpress.com/, already belongs to someone else, which is why our system automatically added the “com” in anxietydrivencom when you tried to register that address.
