    As per my comment once in single_user mode you need to do the rename from the same connection. Don’t try and rename it through Object Explorer as that will try and open up a new connection. The following works this end…

    ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks SET single_user WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks MODIFY NAME = NewAdventureWorks

ALTER DATABASE NewAdventureWorks SET multi_user
