Empty the /var/lib/cassandra/data ,/var/lib/cassandra/commitlog ,/var/lib/cassandra/saved_caches directory and restart Casandra after changing cluster name . This works very well in version 1.2.4 ,try with your version .

It is recommended to use stable release of in envelopment product, if not done with above use 1.2.5 or 1.2.4 instead.
