reappoint
'Renommer' literally means 'to reappoint'. However, since the word appears in isolation, I think it is more likely to be an instruction, and therefore it would be better to use 'reappoint'. I have lots of experience in translations which feature individual words without any context!

rename/reappoint
You can use rename if you are talking about a document, an object, information, etc. You would use reappoint in the context of human resources or personnel.
Hope this fits into your context.

rename
It's not a strictly accurate translation, but it strikes me that it might have been used for 'rename' - which comes up quite often in computing contexts ...
