  Hello @touchingdark,
  There are two things to consider while changing the handle:
  there is a Public Display name(visible to users) and there is your actual username.

  TO CHANGE THE PUBLIC DISPLAY NAME:
  You can change your username from the ME section of your dashboard.
  Click on your profile picture on the top right corner or just click here: https://wordpress.com/me, to go to the me section. Now change the value of the Public Display Name field to update your username. And click Save Profile Details to save the changes.

  TO CHANGE THE USERNAME, read this support guide:

  TO CHANGE THE BLOG NAME:
  Go to your general settings: https://wordpress.com/settings/general and change the value of the Site Title field and click SAVE SETTINGS.

  Hope this helps 🙂
