        Hi,
that's correct. Evolution(-data-server) uses whatever the CalDAV
interface returns as the display name.

You can see that when you run evolution-source-registry (some
distributions have it stored in /usr/libexec/) like this:

   $ WEBDAV_DEBUG=1 /usr/libexec/evolution-source-registry

It'll do some queries against the server shortly after it's run,
without a need to do anything more. I do not recall whether the Google
server allows to rename its calendars through the CalDAV API, but you
can try it in Edit->Accounts-><find&select the Google calendar>, then
the "Browse" button will be enabled, thus click it, then select the
calendar again and click Edit button, which opens a window with
properties which Evolution can edit. Change the "Name" and click Save.
See whether it'll do it.
        Bye,
