my blog name is mw2k.com but my username is something else i created years ago. i want to change my username to by mw2k but i keep getting ‘that name already taken’. Is it possible that it is taken by me because it is the title of my blog?

anyone out there having the same problem and have figured out how to resolve the issue ?

Thank you,
MW2K

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

It is not possible to get that username at any cost.

@mammapasta: mw2k.wordpress.com already directs to mw2k.com … Problem solved?

@mammapasta: Or do you mean that you already own mw2k.wordpress.com and you want to change your username from mammapasta to mw2k? Perhaps staff can help, but I can’t promise anything. I tagged this thread “Modlook” so that they take a look.

airodyssey – yes, i want to change my user name from mammapasta to MW2K and I own and redirect MW2K to mw2k.com

I guess I need a staff member to help. Thanks for the response.

You can change the displayed name easily enough (except in the forums and on your dashboard) under Profile->Nickname on your dashboard.

Contact staff. Since you already have the blog URL associated with that username, they should be able to do something for you.
