change my name?

I got this note this morning I can’t believe Random House is worried about my little blog.

Hi Sue,

I’m from Automattic and we host your blog at cancervixen.wordpress.com. We recently received a trademark complaint about your blog. Apparently, there’s a book and cartoon called Cancervixen and they own the trademark for that term: http://www.randomhouse.com/knopf/cancervixen/

This unfortunately means that we have to ask you to change the name of your blog. The way to  do this is to start a new blog under a different name, and then transfer your old blog over (http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/10/05/can-you-change-my-username/).

Feel free to contact support if you need help with the move.

Best,
Toni

I would not know the first thing about transferring my blog. But apparently I am in trouble with the law if I don’t do something about it.
