Username not available but there is no profile with that username

[jtwilly]

I'm attempting to create an account for my blog. When I add in the username in the account creation screen, it tells me that the username is not available, but there is no profile with that username when I search. 

Is there a way I can get the username I want?

Hey @jtwilly,

The profile may have been closed or suspended in the past. Unfortunately it's currently not possible to claim a username that is unavailable.

Hope this helps!
