I am wondering if besides owning my domain name, should I copyright the actual name of the site?

If my site is called mysite.com. Could I go to www.copyright.gov/ and copyright mysite?

Or do I need to do nothing? What would be best if someone was to try and steal my website name?

What you really want for that is more likely a trademark or servicemark. Copyright protects the content of a given work and a URL/site name is too short to copyright.
(http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-protect.html#title explains that you cannot copyright names, titles, and slogans).

You can start here (assuming you are in the USA by your copyright.gov) link.
