Do you mean that you have named your project test?
You can use 'Save As' to save it under a different name.

The name of your project is unrelated to the published site.
Can you please describe what you mean by 'name'?
Do you mean the URL or maybe the 'title'?

You need to have a test folder. So, if your production folder start point (current one) is for example
www.mysite.com/index.html, your test site could be
www.mysite.com/test/index.html.
To achieve this, go to your hosting site and create a folder called 'test' underneath the root directory. Then change WWB upload (assuming that is what you use) to start uploading from 'test' and not from the root.
That is what I do and it works fine.
Alternatively, you could create a different root somewhere else.
