I am new to iMovie, Apple’s iLife video editing application. It is pretty darn awesome and in many many ways is better than Windows Movie Maker. More than anything, it is fun to work with and is very intuitive. Except for one thing: how do you rename projects after it was created.
Amazingly enough, the project properties window does not have that option. Instead, you need to locate the Project Library button on the upper left corner of the application’s window. In the window that will slide out, double click the name of the project that you want to change. Enter the new name and press return and you are good to go.
Maybe I am just stupid. Probably.

Thanks man! I was also finding how to change it!

Go to project library and double-click on the original title of your project.
Thanks for the help. This is non-obvious.
If you are stupid, so am I! It took me Googling the answer to this question and finding your blog to get it right.
Thank you! That was so simple, but I couldn't figure it out either.
Thanks! I'm so glad I can google all my questions…the solution is usually simple – but NOT obvious!
This is Apple philosophy. No redundant functionality. Once they define the one way to do something, don't provide a second method.
Wouldn't it be grand if Mac could at least try using "save as" a little more often??
