When I started the form Apply for Production, I found a field named "Display Name".

Q) What is the difference between App Name and Display Name?

I don't expect this app to be public at all. And I have a concern, that if I chose choose a poor name, I won't be able to change it.

I'd like to choose the same name as I did for the App Name.

The app name is an internal name of your app that you can see from your app list in the developer console. The display name, as you can read the description under the field, it is your app public name. Your user will see that name in the authorization popup when they login your app.
