As I show in picture default DB name is graph.db.

Since you're using Neo 3.x, to create a new database without removing your existing one, you can simply edit the neo4j.conf file in your conf directory of your $NEO4J_HOME.

Search for dbms.active_database=, which should have the default value of graph.db. Replace it with some other name and start neo4j again. Now, a new database will be created under that directory name. To switch back to your previous db, repeat the steps, just replace your new value with graph.db in the configuration file.
