I get the menu item to change name with option, not shift.
Incidentally I've been using a Mac for decades, but I never remember to check what modifiers do. I'd always just copy and then go back and delete.
I think the right way to deal with this is to have a fancy clipboard manager / shelf, frankly. Cut things, they're put on the shelf, paste pastes in the top thing in the shelf. I suppose lots of people might just end up with cluttered shelves and lose track of stuff. But the shelf concept is a good GUI power user thing.
