Wow. I can't believe this option was right under our noses all this time! This has baffled me for years and always gave up trying to find a solution since I could never find it!
I just came across this topic while doing a search on how to change the network name once again since mine was showing wrong because I connected another router as a repeater bridge to my existing router.
I've been visiting vistax64 and sevenforums for years whenever I got stuck on something. Always enjoyed reading the easy-to-follow and nicely laid-out tutorials whenever I got stuck. Just had to register now to say thanks. :)

If anyone's wondering how to change it in Win8, well, it's hard to believe:
Windows 8 Rename Network - Neowin Forums
Combine that "improvement" with the need to go into the policy editor to change from a public to private network, or vice-versa, something that also used to be a single click in network sharing center before, and the mind boggles.

Hello rseiler,
Thank you. :)
There's also this method below for changing network type in Windows 8 though.

Thank you for NOT making it complicated!!!
I registered just to reply with a huge THANK YOU!!!
All I wanted to do was to change the assigned SSID name on my active network settings. Every post I found made it so darn complicated. Then I found your reply of just clicking on the little house (or park bench) in my Network and Sharing Center and lo and behold there it is a box to change the name!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I only wish I would have found your reply 2 hours ago! UGH!!!
When I click in the Network name field, I am unable to type anything in or change the current name. There is also no button to change the icon. However I am able to change the network name for all of the other networks. I think this is because this network has an access type of "no network access" whereas the others have "Internet" or "No Internet access". How can I change this network name?
