Why are guest comments on my blog displaying my username?

Some of my guest comments are showing my username as though I’m the one who left the comment. Why is that?
Blog url: http://centsiblechicks.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Sure, here is a link:
http://centsiblechicks.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/classy-corn-dogs-and-cheesy-jalapeno-mashed-potatoes/#commentsThe reply post that states “Happy to hear you enjoyed them” is mine. The other comment that starts “I these corn dogs are very good…” is not mine. There are 2 other comments on different posts that I did not write that show my name as well.

That seems very odd, I would suggest changing your password as the only person that can post under your name is whoever has the password to your account.

You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.
Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.
Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.

Thank you for the suggestions timethief. I changed all of the passwords you suggested. As far as users, I’m the only authorized user. Hopefully this fixes the problem.
