The view name is shown on the block list unless your block has a description.

Edit your block settings. The item called 'Admin' is where you can set a description. If you have a description filled out, the description will show up instead of the name of the view, so giving each block a different description will make them show up with different names in your block list.

Sorry for my careless mistake :-(
May be in feature request ..
if "Admin" field is empty, call block name as view name with display id or block delta (or may be display name)?

Fair enough, the display name should probably show up with the view name if that field is left empty.

KarenS, thanks for explaining how to set the description. I have always been confused about why the display title doesn't display on admin/build/block.

Attached is a small patch that appends the display title when the description is empty. I do think this will help a lot of users – I've been using Views 2 since RC1 and I've never noticed that admin item.

Committed. I fixed it up to use a t() so that translators can fix left-to-right issues (Views is probably terrible about them, but at least it'll be better here).
