The SharePoint Migration Tool Error

Question

I am trying to migrate my SharePoint 2013 site to Office 365. After providing valid credentials on both sides, when i select the site and press Next button, i face the below error. Unfortunately, there is not much details on this error.

Sorry, you can’t create this site. Please enter a different Sharepoint Online site URL or contact your administrator.

I tried different names but each time i get the same error.

Please advise.
