Shouldn't be a problem. However, usual caveats apply, and I've only done this
with PCs and laptops. 

My usual way of doing this is to first do a full upgrade, then change the name
(and yes, this time I simply swapped in jessie), do an update, then a
dist-upgrade.

You 'can' do it via synaptic, but in the past I've had problems where gui
stuff that synaptic is using gets changed! :(
