Confirm by reading:

You can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

Or you can register a domain vis a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.

PLEASE can admin do this for me? I am re-using my own blog name! PLEASE?!
