  Usernames are unique to each user. If the username exists, then it is taken and unavailable to anyone else.

  This however does not mean that you cannot change your public display name/nickname. That can be changed in your personal settings. https://wordpress.com/me

  This will be the name that appears by every post if your theme supports author name display.
