  Hey! I am trying to change my blog name to rapuntsel.wordpress.com, but it says that it is unavailable. I tried to search this address, but I could not find any blog with this name.
  Best option would be rapuntsel.com, but I am not sure how I can do this way.
  Thanks
  Merlin

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

  When we register a username account the matching blog URL is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.

  rapuntsel.wordpress.com doesn’t exist but is reserved for the person with the matching username account to register and that is why you cannot register it.
