  HI m1j5,

  Unfortunately, a deleted site name cannot be reused like this. Check this link here – https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Thanks

  Just to add: This rule is for your protection also, so that no one can pretend to be you. :)

  You can use a similar URL instead, and use the same site title. The next time you have second thoughts about your site’s URL, we recommend that you change the URL without deleting it, so that you can keep it for possible future use. :)
  For more information on changing your URL, please see: https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
