I rename my own just by simply :

1. going to github.com on my repository
2. Open Settings Tab
3. The first setting you can see is the "Repository Name"
4. Change the actual one and put the new name you want to give to your repository
5. Click on Rename

After this step, GitHub will make sure that, your online repository matches your local folder name. At this step your problem is solved, unless you also want to rename your local folder. Then do it manually and just use the Github client for windows to refind again your repository into your hard drive, and Github will match it again. That's all! Very simple.
