I have an Application pool that has a lot of applications been assigned to it, it won't let me rename.

Beside delete and creating a new application pool, is there anyway to get a new name for my application pool? I don't want to go and reassign every application in it.

Assign applications to another pool, rename the one you wanted renamed. Re-assign applications back to your pool.

IIS doesn't support other options
