  https://rosieodriscoll.wordpress.com doesn’t exist so you can register it.

  re: changing a .wordpress.com address
  We cannot edit any blog URLs. If you want to change the .wordpress.com blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so, then you can change the URL by using the guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Be sure to locate the correct page http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/dashboard-e1371648470893.png

  Changing a URL is a permanent and irreversible act. No changed or deleted blog URLs are recycled here, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  What details are you referring to?

  The site content will be the same. All that changes is the URL.

  All that is required when registering a username account is an email address. All blogs registered under the same username account are registered under that same associated email address.

  Do I need to put www. before my name. Or just leave it as roiseodriscoll.wordpress.com

  Do not enter any ‘www”. There is no www in any .wordpress.COM URL. www is an old protocol from back when everything was under separate server hardware. www (www.example.com) was the web server, mail (mail.example.com) was the mail server, ftp (ftp.example.com) was the FTP server, print (print.example.com) was the print server, etc. These days, everything is run under the web server, making www. redundant and a waste of four characters.
