If you want to rename ABAP classes, methods or variables you have two possibilities: Feel the pain or use Eclipse...

 

It's pretty simple! Just right click on the object and choose "Rename":







 

But that's not all - every reference will be renamed! So this is a killer feature if you want to move objects in your namespace...

 

Unfortunately this doesn't work for function modules and function groups, there you need to use function module RS_FUNCTION_RENAME and update the references manually.

 

If you haven't downloaded ABAP on Eclipse yet:

https://eclipse.org/mars/

To see the full Features of refactoring in Eclipse, take a look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_banking450sp06/helpdata/en/4e/c859406e391014adc9fffe4e204223/content.htm... (thanks to thomasfiedler)
