Ok! glad things are working out now, even if we don't fully understand why! I'm not sure why upgrading pip before you are in the virtual env would make a difference (as you can see in my example I did it within the virtualenv after it was created and activated), but if it works it works.
Martha, as to renaming environments and projects: I would conservatively just say no to both. I believe that environments can't be renamed because there are references within the directory itself to it's name. Further, it's really good to treat them as disposable, so I'd recommend never holding any specific virtual environment dear. You should be able to delete and replicate one anytime you need, and you really should need to edit anything inside them either. You can use pip freeze to list out what libraries are installed in a virtual environment, and this can be useful if you have installed libraries and need to install the exact same versions into another. As for projects, again I would say no just from a best practices point of view. The name of a project's top directory actually has no bearing on the app, so technically you can rename that if you want. However, the name of the second directory (my_project/my_project) is used (I believe) for the setting APP_NAME which is important throughout the app: it is used in the actual postgres database name that your project uses, and there are python import statements that have that directory name.
