    IMHO better not to change the name but if you did it you should wait for google to index you. And the time depends on many factors such as backlinks

    Not true.

    But you need to 301 redirect all your previous urls to new ones.

    Read official google's best practices on domain moving.

    Try redirecting your old blog url to new one.

    Good Luck

    y did you change your blog url in the first place? your new name is not that attractive. better go back to the old. new name and url means, new blog ok? that will not be indexed without any links incoming.

    The process that has been done so far is like starting a new domain.

    If you have 301 redirected the old URLs to the new ones, then the old backlinks will still help. PR juice will be transferred to the new URLs.
