**This isn't an intentionally blocked name by Mojang, it was due to a bug/overlook.**
I'm sure you've heard about the Minecraft infinite alt accounts exploit, but if you didn't there's a link at the bottom explaining how it worked. Eventually it got patched though, and all the accounts got deleted. However when trying to change your name to one of the deleted accounts, for example the name "SpergOut", it still claims that a profile already exists with that name.

I am aware that they are allowed to block names for undisclosed reasons, but these aren't necessarily blocked, just unintentionally soft locked due to an overlook.
You mentioned this names will be cleared soon on the duplicate report. Anyone is working on that? its been a few months since this issue has been opened and still no updates : (
@unknown As for "SpergOut" at least, that's an IGN which is offensive, hence no one should get access to it anyway.
No idea what the other account names that are "soft-blocked" are like, but I hope nothing similar.
This username isn’t blocked, it is most likely Psuedo-hard Deleted meaning the username still remains in the private name history database but no where else. You would be able to check this before when the Name History API still existed but it has since been removed.
Mojang Studios have the right to block certain usernames for undisclosed reasons. See the following comment for more information.
