You can try posting a comment on that blog asking if the current owner will do so. Otherwise, there is no way for you to obtain the address.

How do I make it not map to my new address so that someone else can map it to a different blog?
Also when I google search my old blog Sparkle and the Bohemian it comes up reading Sparkle and the Bohemian. Then when you click on it youre directed to my new blog. Can I remove this connection as well?

Thanks so much for your help.

No - providing you had domain mapping to a base blog such as your-blog.wordpress.com -

Your content on theruecollective.wordpress.com will be safe

I created a blog on wordpress and then attached a domain name I bought else where to the blog. I have now purchased a different domain name through word press. I need to remove the domain name I purchased elsewhere from my blog and not have it map to my new one. By doing this will I loose all the work on my blog that was done to it while it was under that domian?

Thanks

I just started my blog scantilyglad.wordpress.com a few days ago, and I'm (obviously) new to this. I now see that someone using blogger has a blog with the same title at scantilyglad.blogspot.com, though theirs hasn't been updated since 2006.

Should I change my blog name? I don't want to, but will if it's the right thing to do. Or, do you think it's okay since theirs is so old and they are on a different platform all together? Or, if I make it it's own domain at wordpress.com, would that be better? I don't want it to cause a grievance down the road.

Any insight would be most appreciated. Thanks, everyone!
Mandi

IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content, deleting a blog or changing the URL (blog address) does not remove any indexed content from appearing in the SERPs (search engine page results).
