    Kind of depends on what you mean. When you say `one of the sub menus of the package is my name` do you mean one of the packages inside the root package?

    If so you can simply rename the package name and release the change.

    If, however, your name appears in the manifest file package field.

    
<manifest xmlns:android="">schemas.android.com/.../android"  
          package="package.name.here">

    then you can change the package name, but not release this as the same app on the store. Your only option would be to remove the current app and release another with the new package name.....
