In the cell view window select the cell you want to rename - let it load up in the render window - slow click it again and it will allow you to rename it - note that if you release a mod with an exterior cell that is name changed any newer mods you load over the top of it will change the name back to its original name

If the slow-click gets too frustrating, you can also highlight the cell name and press F2.
(this works for most things in the CS)

Plan ahead when you change the name too.
If your planning on releasing the mod, people will want to know what the cell was called before (and if it was a wilderness-y cell like Ascadian Isles, they will want to know coordinates too) to see if it conflicts with anything.
