No. I think you can take names which were remover due to name change, though. Not sure about that though.

Can I take another player's username?

Yes, but only under certain circumstances.

If a player has not signed in for at least 6 months and has no plays, their username may be reclaimed via the osu!store player name change page for a standard fee associated with username changes.

If that player does have any plays across all game modes, a non-linear function is used to calculate how much extra time is added to those 6 months. This is to prevent people from stealing the usernames of active or recently retired players.

It wasn't meant to be like that, for example i changed my name and i didn't log into the account for over 6 months. You can take someone's username if they don:t log on for 6 months, right? That's what i meant, it's basically same as supporter's feature but it's free and on a fresh account.
