title: How to rename a virtual machine in Azure portal?
body: <p>At <a href="https://portal.azure.com" rel="nofollow">https://portal.azure.com</a> , in the <strong>Browse All Resources</strong> page, there is a <strong>Name</strong> column. How can I change the name of a resource? </p>
  
  <p>I have been looking around, but I cannot find that option. Is it not allowed?</p>
  
  <p>I already changed the Virtual Machine host name, but for consistency, I would like the <strong>Name</strong> matches the host name, otherwise I will always have to remember that <em>foo_x</em> virtual machine matches the machine with host name <em>foo_y</em> and with domain name <em>foo_z.cloudapp.net</em>.</p>
