  Are you referring to “My Blogs”? The My Blogs page provides a list of all your blogs. If so then what you can do is found here. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#change-a-blogs-address

  If that’s not what you mean then you can change your blog title and/or tagline at any time on this page > Settings > General and don’t forget to click “save changes” when you are done.

  You can see here that the blog is not updated.
  The list in the dashboard shows Hermaminkowski and if you look above you see
  Hermanminkowski1. Thus, not the same.

  From my own experience, it does take a little while for a cache somewhere to clear out and the new name to show up correctly.

  To help the process along, you can try logging out of WordPress.com, clearing your browser’s cache and cookies and then logging back in again.

  (By the way, can’t see the image on dropbox as it is asking for the viewer to log in, but you can for next time, upload it to your media library and put the direct link here.)

  Does this link work ? what do you see ?

  First I was confused by the terms “Blog name”, “Site Title”, “Blog Title” which are used by WP. They are the same concepts though.
  Then I wondered how come a change in Site Title does not affect the the Blog Name in the Dash Board. Etc.
  Now I think it is right, but who knows if next time will be a problem again ?

  Yes, now I see the image and I see the name of the blog as hermanminkowski.

  When I click on the link in your username, it brings me to a blog whose name is hermanminkowski1. Does it now show up correctly in your list of blogs as hermanminkowski1?

  As for who knows if next time it will be a problem again, it may take a little while for any changes to the database for your blog to show up.
