To rename a virtual machine:
1) Power off (not suspend) the virtual machine.
2) Using Finder, navigate to /Users/
3) Scroll and find the .vmx file. There should only be one. Open the file using TextEdit or some other text editor.
4) Search for displayName. For example you may see displayName = "Windows XP Professional". You can change Windows XP Professional to whatever you want. Save file and exit the text editor.
5) For clarity, I would also rename the Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm file in /Users/
6) Back in VMware Fusion, delete the virtual machine from the Virtual Machine Library.
7) Add the renamed virtual machine into the Virtual Machine Library by File > Open. Navigate to and select renamed vmwarevm file in /Users/
