From blogger's web site:

Remember that if you change your blog's URL, you release the old URL for other bloggers to use.

Too bad WP is so confused on the issue of dropping old / completely unused / never used blog names.

You can purchase your own domain name via a domain mapping upgrade and then what the underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain URL is will not matter.

You can try leaving a comment on the site and ask the existing owner if they will transfer it to you. If they will, this is the procedure they will use:
