Can I change page name in address bar?

I thought I was being clever by experimenting with several versions of my various image galleries under different page names, but now that I'm getting close to what I want, I can't seem to change the trial page names except on the pages themselves or the menus, so in the browser Address Bar they show, for example, as http://www.wellofstars.com/Blog/sculpture-test-page/, or http://www.wellofstars.com/Blog/drawings-2/. Am I stuck with that unless I want to redo (or copy?) the pages?

What you see in the address bar are the slugs of your pages and these remain unchanged even if you rename the pages, unless you explicitly change them too. These slugs can be edited immediately below the page name.

Thanks very much for your reply. For some reason I was not allowed to edit the slug, even after emptying the trash with its duplicate name, but by knowing what term to research I was able to figure out a work-around. Your help is much appreciated.
