  Display names relate to username accounts. You are off on the wrong tangent. What you really want to do is to chnage your blog’s address.

  re: changing a .wordpress.com address
  We cannot edit any blog URLs. If you want to change the .wordpress.com blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so, then you can change the URL by using the guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Be sure to locate the correct page http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/dashboard-e1371648470893.png

  Changing a URL is a permanent and irreversible act. No changed or deleted blog URLs are recycled here, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  Thank you. When I click on the link you provided above where you wrote be sure to locate the correct page, I can’t click on anything there. How do I get to that page?

  I have changed the blog address in the account settings and it wont display and I don’t understand the way you are saying to do it.

  Thanks
