Hi Adam,
You can definitely add a custom domain to your WordPress.com blog. The instructions are slightly different based on whether you already own the domain or not, but you can follow the necessary steps here:

As for changing your site name (the current vulgartrades.wordpress.com), it wouldn’t be necessary as readers would only see your custom domain. Even if they went to vulgartrades.wordpress.com they would be automatically redirected to your custom domain.
However, if you still want to, you can change your blog title in the Settings -> General page of your Dashboard, here:
https://vulgartrades.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php
Remember to scroll down and click the “Save changes” button after you make your change.
You can change your blog address ending in wordpress.com by following the steps on this page:
