The MySQL manual at MySQL covers this.
Usually I just dump the database and reimport it with a new name. This is not an option for very big databases. Apparently RENAME {DATABASE | SCHEMA} db_name TO new_db_name; does bad things, exist only in a handful of versions, and is a bad idea overall.
This needs to work with InnoDB, which stores things very differently than MyISAM.

For InnoDB, the following seems to work: create the new empty database, then rename each table in turn into the new database:
RENAME TABLE old_db.table TO new_db.table;
You will need to adjust the permissions after that.
For scripting in a shell, you can use either of the following:
mysql -u username -ppassword old_db -sNe 'show tables' | while read table; \
do mysql -u username -ppassword -sNe "rename table old_db.$table to new_db.$table"; done
Or
for table in `mysql -u root -ppassword -s -N -e "use old_db;show tables from old_db;"`; do mysql -u root -ppassword -s -N -e "use old_db;rename table old_db.$table to new_db.$table;"; done;
Notes: there is no space between the option -p and the password. If your database has no password, remove the -u username -ppassword part.
Also, if you have stored procedures, you can copy them afterwards:
mysqldump -R old_db | mysql new_db
