if you have developer mode enabled you can change the the Name in the file /usr/share/applications/harbour-tidings.desktop
Change this line:
Name=Tidings
If you don't want to enable the developer mode, then there is no way to change names in the application grid.
thank you, i'm just basic end user and don't want activate Developer mode

Applications are named by their creator(s). Why should users be allowed to change the name?
