  Hi, I am using nick GastosRhor and wanted to change domain name within one of my WordPress pages as gastosrhor.wordpress.com but I am getting this info: ‘gastosrhor.wordpress.com doesn’t exist
  The address gastosrhor.wordpress.com cannot be registered. Sorry, that site is reserved! But you can sign up and choose another one.’.

  I can`t register it and it seems as it is just blocked because I used that name as nick? How can I reset that to have blog under such address?

  Site: https://gastosrhor568264430.wordpress.com.
  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there:

  The nickname you set has nothing to do with the ability to register that URL.

  When a WordPress.com user signs up for an account we reserve the URL of their username. So if they signed up for the username of exampleuser we would reserve exampleuser.wordpress.com for them. In this case, there’s a WordPress.com user with the username of gastosrhor so that site URL is reserved for their use.

  There is nothing we can do to unreserve it and you will need to choose a different name for your blog.

  I hope that clarifies things!
