Database Rename - Best Practice

We have a company called ABC, with database name ABC. They are running on SQL 2000. Company ABC has been bought by company XYZ and wants the database name (not company, but down to the database name level) to be XYZ, so that nothing about the old name remains.
What is the best way to rename the database? I don't see any options under File --> Database --> Alter. And I can't edit any of the file name fields there.
I don't know much about SQL or how it configures with Navision, so any help is great. Thanks.
