Press m on the node you want to then select (m)ove the current node. Moving is the same as renaming.

NERDTree Menu. Use j/k/enter and the shortcuts indicated
==========================================================
> (a)dd a childnode
  (m)ove the curent node
  (d)elete the curent node
  (c)copy the current node
