No, you don't change the name. The name at the top of Schedule B just identifies what tax return the Schedule B belongs to. It has nothing to do with which one of you received the income.

In the good old days of paper filing a return .... the main taxpayer's name & SS# was listed on the top of every tax form sent to the IRS so if the pile of returns on a data input operator's desk fell on the floor and got jumbled up all the individual returns could be reassembled correctly ... it means nothing more than that.
