How to edit the name of a plugin on wordpress.org/plugins

The Official Answer! is

Yes and no. You can change the display name, but the slug — that part of the >plugin URL that is yours — cannot be changed once a plugin is approved. That’s why we warn you, multiple times, upon submission.

To change the display name, edit your main plugin file and change the value of “Plugin Name:” to the new name. You also will want to edit your header in your readme.txt to match.
