Custom URLs for profiles and pages: an update
Today we're rolling out custom URLs to thousands more verified (and well-known) brands and individuals. If you're part of this expanded roll out, you'll be prompted to claim your preapproved URL via email and/or when you visit your profile or page.
We’re making these changes over the next few days, and we’ll be offering custom URLs to many more profiles and pages in the future. We appreciate your patience in the interim, and we look forward to hearing your feedback!
p.s. Custom URLs are not case-sensitive, so google.com/+Chrome, google.com/+chrome, and google.com/+ChRoMe all point to the same place.

I assume you are referring to the "change url" but option 2 "a box" does not appear. I am un able to edit/change predefined url.Oct 29, 2013
+Eduardo Chavez :) Your situation seems worse than mine :)Oct 30, 2013
+Saurabh Sharma My work uses Google apps so we have G+ there, but Google reserved +BlairZajac for my work profile instead of my personal profile. Unfortunately, it's not letting me pick another URL for my work profile to free up the name for my personal profile. It would be great if you had a short URL assigned to you, you could give it to an alternate profile.Nov 1, 2013
Thanks for bringing that up +Blair Zajac , I also have the exact same problem. My +FirstnameSurname is predecided to my work profile not my personal. And my work G+ profile is offered short url has 74 followers and very little posts, while my personal profile is followed by 477 people and has alot of shares (mean more more active).
Due to this, I still have not claimed the short url on my work profile.Nov 1, 2013
As mentioned before, my name "Hasan Deniz" was predecided to my work profile. So I have modified it (+Hasan DENİZ ) thinking that my name would be available to my actual personal profile. but it's not..
As seen here " https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-kQP2KneWVIo/UoDu6TweNPI/AAAAAAAADpY/SpnpW8wzgtM/w1391-h865-no/%252BHasanDeniz.gif " there are a few number of people with the name Hasan Deniz (first two is me :) )
So I am still stuck with +HasanDeniz[Something] :(
