We suspect it may have something to do with the reserved checker being cases-sensitive, as blog names can only be lowercase and your name is SimSimy (which is odd, as that should be lowercase only too).

BUT!
I did some digging in my mailbox.
It seems that I have/had another user (with the same email)- miertarum - activated on 21/11/2008.
I've few password reset's with that username and then, on 01/02/2011 a password reset with simsimy as username.
The even weirder part is that I got reset password email with SimSimy as username (rather than simsimy) on 17.10.11
(I'm quite sure there ware some email's I've deleted during the years)

As miertarum was a nickname I used 5 years ago and started using simsimy few years ago, I guess that at some point I registered to wp.com with another user (simsimy) and the same e-mail address. When I try to reset my wp.com password with my email, I receive SimSimy as username and when I try to reset the password with "miertarum" as user it just says the password reset mail is sent but I don't get the email.

I'm not sure if this is relevant but it is weird so I thing it's worth mentioning

Just to be clear - I've never had wp.com blog with neither simsimy nor miertarum.

I'm unable to duplicate this myself, so I'm not sure what's blocking it here.

Just to be sure, simsimy was definitely never registered and deleted? You just started with a blogless account and never registered it?

When I started this topic I had http://toohealthycooking.wordpress.com/ and two self hosted blogs for jetpack (aka wp-org blogs) and couldn't register simsimy
As I remember that wordpress.com suggested me to open simsimy.wordpress.com few years ago I thought that maybe if I remove the current blog (toohealthycooking) I'll gain the option to "start over" and register "simsimy"

That wasn't the case :(

Try registering another one, just use random letters or something, you can delete it later.

If you can do that, try registering simsimy again.
