"Security through obscurity" is not security though. And that would only really work if you give it a absolutely random and long name so that a bruteforce attack to guess the name would take ages and the attacker would probably give up. It would be also very bothersome to access it unless you bookmark it on every device you use.

Just a fair warning about Wordpress and plugins. Even some of the biggest plugins and most active plugins have issues that for weeks or even months have sometimes left thousands of blogs or even more than just thousands open for attacks. Basically running a Wordpress blog with plugins is more of a security risk than running a straight up Vanilla blog.
