TBH renaming a SQL server that is part of a log shipping and database mirroring topology is not something i would recommend. For mirroring this will affect the endpoints, Log shipping will be affected by the name change too.

Save yourself a whole bunch of troubles and break the mirror and LS, rename the server and re apply the mirror and LS scenarios
