    Hi Chotoma,

    Hope you are doing good:)

    1.)Log into WordPress.com using your existing username
    2.)Access your Account Settings and enter the username you want under Username andiIn the box Confirm Username that appears, enter your new username again.
    3.)The next step will allow you to change or create a matching blog address:
    –If your current username matches your blog address:-

    3.1)Selecting “Yes, change example.wordpress.com to match my new username and discard the old address” will change the address of your current blog. If your new user name is newusername, your blog’s address will be changed to newusername.wordpress.com. (You won’t be able to use the old address again.)

    Selecting “Yes, change example.wordpress.com to match my new username and create an empty blog with the old address” will change the address of your current blog (if your new user name is newusername, your blog’s address will be changed to newusername.wordpress.com), and create an empty blog at your old blog address.

    3.2)Selecting “Yes, create a new blog to match my new username” will create a new blog for you. If your new user name is newusername, the new blog will be newusername.wordpress.com.

    3.3)Selecting “No, don’t create a matching address.” will just change your username and make no changes to the address of your blog.

    3.4)Read the information presented on this page very carefully. Important: You will not be able to change your username back. The old name will be reserved and no one will have access to it. URLs for other services such as Gravatar may be affected.

    3.5)Click Save Username to save your changes and update your username.
    Once you’ve done all of that you’ll be rocking WordPress.com with your new username.

    Thanks:)

    Sorry I clicked Submit wrongly. Today (09.11.2018) I opened an WordPress linked Website, wherein I used Username – Pronob.

    In May 2018 I opened a Website with WordPress but had not completed the whole process. There I used Username as chotoma. I wish to keep that as final how do I go about it.

    Kindly help.
