You only have to change places where you use queue name direct instead
of id. For example in scrips. RT Core code uses IDs so name changing is
transparent.

You can leave old alias for some time(with new queue name as argument)
and add another one, then hide old email address from all public
resources. After some sane time you can drop old alias.
