Hi @travanatravel!
If by changing the name you mean the name of your blog address (https://travanablog.wordpress.com/) in something else, please follow the instructions in this support page:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
Before making the change consider that once you decide to change the address the old address cannot be used again by anyone (not even by you). It’s a procedure that WordPress uses to keep your site from being impersonated by someone else. So only change the address if you are sure that you are never gonna use it again.
If by changing your name you mean changing your username (travanatravel) you have two options available, you can either change your Public Display Name (the one visible to your users) or your actual username. To change your username please follow the instructions in this support page:
To change your Public Display Name, follow this link and in the Public Display Name field update your username. Click Save Profile Details to save the changes:
If instead, you want to change your Site Title and Tagline, please have a look at this support guide:

Hope all is clear! Feel free to reach out if you need some more help :)
