The main problem is once you change/rename your database name then CMS Builder won't be able to connect anymore.

There's two ways to do it. Try this sequence:

1) Change the database name in CMS Builder (Admin > General Settings)
2) Rename the database itself
3) Continue using CMS Builder

Or...

Just edit /data/settings.dat.php and search for "[mysql]" and you'll see a line you can change that specifies the database. It looks like this:

database = "cms"

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions about that.
