It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.

You are not logged in under the scottreadsit username account. You can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
and if required click the "Need More Help" link and complete the form for account recovery.

Is it possible that it's reserved to me due to the fact that my username is scottreadsit?

Unfortunately, it looks like posts by me are still seem to be coming up under the Akismet username. e.g.

http://rotatetranslate.com/2013/05/09/primordia-i-for-one-welcome-our-new-robot-overlords/

Is there anything I need to do on my profile?

Staff will have to fix it, and I've flagged this for their attention.

The main page links to my profile here:
http://rotatetranslate.com/author/jestarjokin/

Whereas posts I make link to an Aksimet user:
http://rotatetranslate.com/author/akismet-c6958e66c7afb1cc6623e86e48f1d79d/

I assume this is because I signed up for Akismet to use on my self-hosted blog, before I signed up for WordPress.com to contribute to a different blog.

How do I fix this?

See:

It just happens. I want to change this username, currently "laureninspace," to the name of my other username, "LaurenOrsini."

So I changed "LaurenOrsini" to "LaurenOrsini2" in order to free up the former. However, whenever I try to change my name to that, it says, "This username already exists!"

It's an unusual name and I doubt anybody took it in the short time I've left it open. What's going on?
