JetBlue’s correction policy provides for free name corrections. Any name change that does not fall under JetBlue’s name correction policy is considered a name change. Name changes on the PNR after a ticket has been issued are not authorised under JetBlue’s name change policy. However, you may transfer your ticket to another passenger provided you buy a new PNR and pay the additional rate as well as the flight change fee when rebooking.

JetBlue Policy on Name Change vs. JetBlue Policy on Name Correction
The airline’s policy on name changes differs from its policy on name correction. The name change policy prohibits changing your name after you have purchased your ticket. However, under the airline’s name correction policy, name corrections are permissible. Name changes that do not comply with the airline’s name correction policy are classified as name changes.

According to JetBlue’s name change policy, you are not permitted to change your name on your PNR after ticketing (that is, after you have paid for your ticket).
However, if you book a new ticket and pay the new rate in addition to the current flight change fee, you may use your ticket for another person.
Name changes are authorised only if the airline carrier is JetBlue (B6/279) and all flights on your ticket are operated or validated by JetBlue (B6/279) and/or an OA Interline JetBlue Partner.
To transfer your ticket to another person and thereby change the name on your ticket (in favour of that passenger), you must:
Cancel your ticket but leave it open, and
Create a new PNR for the new passenger at the current fare, and
Use your open ticket to process a voluntary ticket exchange/reissue, and
Pay the necessary change fee and fare difference at the time of reissue.
The JetBlue name correction policy allows for a free one-time name adjustment as long as:

There is no change in passenger.
you have made no additional modifications to your flight, travel date, fare class, or code.
Is it possible to change the name on a JetBlue ticket?
After the ticket/PNR has been issued, it is not possible to change the name on the ticket.

You can, however,:

Transfer your ticket to another passenger after booking a new PNR and paying the new fare plus the applicable flight change fee when you rebook your journey.
Make a free one-time name correction as long as you are not:
Changing or substituting passengers, and
Changing your flight, date of travel, price class, or fare code.
What is JetBlue’s Policy on Name Correction?
Name corrections are granted up to once for free, subject to the following circumstances, according to the policy:

Name changes are permissible as long as you do not exchange one passenger for another. Passenger substitution is considered a name change and is subject to the name change policy.
Only under the following situations can you change your name:
JetBlue (B6/279) serves as the validating carrier.
JetBlue (B6/279) validates and/or operates all of the flights listed on your ticket.
Your ticket may be reissued once for name correction. Any more name corrections will be considered a name change and will incur change fees in addition to the fare difference.
Any changes to your name are not included in the name correction.
Codes for the flight, travel date, fare class, and/or fare base. If the original fare is no longer available, you must book your flight in the lowest available fare class without changing your original fare basis code.
Birth date or gender are also considered name changes and are subject to JetBlue’s name change policy. However, if your name is not changed, a slight modification to your birth date is permissible owing to booking issues.
Mid-flight, you can make a minor name change to confirm that the name on your ticket matches the name on your passport/government-issued ID.
Each passenger may only have one name. Additional changes are subject to the policy on name changes.
