Mahara shouldn't silently change user data without consent.  Personally I don't think we should try to automatically change journal titles.
- We don't have any way of distinguishing a journal title that's never been edited from one that's been edited and then changed back.
- Generally, just because a string happens to be the same as the default doesn't necessarily mean the user wants it to behave as if it's the default.
- What happens if Paula Paulsen already has two journals, "Paula Paulsen's Journal", and "Paula Petterson's Journal" at the time she changes her name?

But I think it'd be okay to do this if we had some policy for Journal
title defaults like we do with some of the block titles ("if you leave
the title blank, a default title will be generated").  Then we'd store a
blank title in the database, and just generate a title to display
whenever someone looks at the journal.  If the user edited the title,
that'd be used instead.
