Why does my desired blog address say that it is already reserved?

  Hello, I would like to use the web address imperfectjen.wordpress.com but it says that it does not exist and is reserved. Is there any possible way around that? I have been using that name for almost every social platform thus far and want nothing more than to keep it consistent. I am hoping to use wordpress for my artist blog, this is perhaps the most important username that I want to keep with my traditional socialmedia username.

  I am also open to jennyjade.wordpress.com but that seems to be taken by someone who hasn’t posted anything.

  Is there any way around this? I could really use your help.

  Thank you!

  There is already an account under the name: “imperfectjen”. This means that this account has the privilege to create a blog within that name, that’s why it’s reserved. Feel free to create another blog name.

  Keep in mind we also offer an upgrade for custom domain names and you can use any WordPress.com blog URL underneath a custom domain. For more details about how domain mapping works: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/
