Just click on the button in the main base screen that says rename or something like that. I missed it for the longest time too. I is big, and right above the unit window. Middle lower.

Ah, one of the great pleasures of the game for me is renaming the captured bases of my enemies. Even after I have given them back to my (now) slave, they provide amusement. Nothing like turning Godwinson's Hope into Godwinson's Hopeless etc.He's got the Midas touch.
But he touched it too much!

My fav is renaming cities into new Hive colonies:
Terrible Swift Sword->Anger of Yang
Gaia's Landing->People's Landing
Morgan Industries->Hive Industries
U.N. HQ->Nerver Stapling Center
Ironholm->People's Bunker
New Jerusalem->New Hive
Last Rose of Summer->(usually planet bustered)
Despot-(1a) : a ruler with absolute power and authority (1b) : a person exercising power tyrannically

The funniest renaming I ever saw took place in a game my sister was involved in. She was the Spartans, and she captured the Gaian base "The Flowers Preach". Having already entered an aggressive renaming policy but not feeling like thinking too hard for a name, she tacked one word onto the end of it. The Gaians attacked their former base, "The Flowers Preach Death", until the earth ran with blood, but my sister held the base until the end of the game.
Most of her base names in that game were like that. House of Knives, Palace of Pain, and Blood On The Water were just a few. It tells you what style of player my sister is. 
Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment

Then there must be something wrong with your game. When you open the base screen, the button should be right in front of you.Comment

I dunno...
It specifically says "Base Rename", right? I've been playing SMAC/SMAX since they came out, and I used to rename bases...took a 3 month break and I can't find it anymore...
At work, will check when I get home.Comment

Just press the r key on your keyboard when you have the base screen open.Comment

AH HA!
I tried n and ctl-n, thinking "Hey, this is how to rename a landmark right?" expecting consistance. Bah Thanks! Knew it was a key combo...

I think the button is cunningly hidden as the actual base-name. Click it, and IIRC that'll let you rename it.The church is the only organisation that exists for the benefit of its non-members

I swear I've clicked on the base name, shift clicked, alt-clicked, ctl-alt clicked, ctl clicked, etc., and nothing happens...because that's what I thought, too
. No go. Will play around more when I get home.

Dude! There's a freakin' big button right in front of you on the base screen that says RENAME. I've used it tons of times. Maybe try patching to the latest version, but I'm pretty sure it was there even in SMAC v1.0."Luck's last match struck in the pouring down wind." - Chris Cornell, "Mindriot"Comment

I'm at SMAX 2.0. If you can find it, let me know, otherwise I'll just use "r".Comment

Just like BustaMike, I really can't understand how you can look besides the 'Rename' button. Glacialis, could you please post a print screen of your SMAC game while there is a base screen open?Comment
