Ah, but I'm no longer using the traditional KDE Resources, so I don't see 
those names.
In Korganizer and KAddressBook, this looks like:

Akonadi Compatibility Resource
	Birthdays & Anniversaries (I can live with this one)
	akonadi_ical_resource_2
	akonadi_ical_resource_3
	akonadi_ical_resource_4
	akonadi_ical_resource_5
	akonadi_ical_resource_6

When using the traditional KDE Resources, you can still choose the names. 
Everything else falls under the 'Akonadi Compatibility Resource'

I'm no longer using the traditional KDE Resources, because my .ics file is 
hosted on an SFTP server. I ended up with an empty calendar file on a regular 
basis while using the traditional resources and it looks like Akonadi handles 
remote resources a lot better. (Besides, Google Calendar should now be 
useable.)

I will take your advice and will not touch the resource names. I can't do that 
anyway. Still, I would like to be able to change the name in a safe manner.
