Amazon S3 bucket name uniqueness and domain name

I have a domain for example mydomain.com and a bucket on Amazon S3 that hosts my static website.

I want to link my domain to my bucket.

The bucket name should be same as my domain name:

The bucket must have the same name as your domain or subdomain. For example, if you want to use the subdomain acme.example.com, the name of the bucket must be acme.example.com.

and bucket names are unique in Amazon S3:

The name must be unique across all existing bucket names in Amazon S3.

the problem is a bucket with my domain name already exists and its not mine.

login into your AWS console, in the services menu under the Networking & Content Delivery group click on the CloudFront

in the CloudFront Distributions page click on the Create Distribution button

after creating click on its ID in the list to go to configuration page

in the Origins and Origin Groups tab click Create Origin buton and enter your bucket name in Origin Domain Name field and fill other boxes

now you can go to Route 53 -> hosted zones and create a new hosted zone with your domain and create an A record like www.mydomain.com and point it to cloudFront
