  HI,

  It looks like it is showing your Public Display Name in the comments on your site, you can change your Public Display Name by doing the following:

  1. Log in to your account at http://www.wordpress.com.
  2. Once you are logged in, if you hover your mouse over your profile picture in the top right hand corner of the site, you should see a drop down of options. Select “Settings”
  3. Now that you have arrived at your settings page, you should see a list of options on the right hand side, select “Public Profile” from those options.
  4. You should now see an option title “Public Profile Name” on the left hand side, feel free to change this option to whatever you would like your display name to be in comments and posts.

  Hope this helps!

  Note that your email address will ALWAYS be visible to the blog owner if you comment on a blog post at Wp.com. Also that when you fill out the comment form when not logged in, the email address is not posted, but again only visible to the owner.
