  Hi @asacredgardenblog,

  Yes, you can.

  To change the site name, you can do it under My Site > Appearance > Customize > Site Identity

  To change your site address:
  1. Go to My Site > Upgrades > Domains
  2. Click on the Manage button which lies on the right side of the “Primary Site Address” highlighted in light green color
  3. It will open a drop-down, then click on Change Site Address
  4. Here you can change your site address

  If you want to remove the wordpress.com extension, you need to purchase any of the paid plans offered by WordPress.com. With a paid plan you will get a free domain for a year or you can map a domain you already own from a different domain registrar.

  Go through the following links to learn more:

  To register a new domain through WordPress.com:

  To map a domain you already own from a different registrar:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  I hope this helps :)
