  I am just in the process of setting up a new blog. I would like to name it takingtheplunge.wordpress.com. When I entered that address it says that it is taken, however when I did a search online of that name it shows that the blog has been deleted by the author.

  Is there any way to get access to this since it is no longer in use?

  No – once a site has been deleted it is gone forever, even from the original owner, blog names are not recycled at WordPress.COM

  Sorry
