Can I rename my wallet.dat file?

[nabeton]

Hi guys,

I'm not satisfied with name of my wallet (using Multibit).
Can I just rename wallet.dat file? Is the name connected somehow with private key?

Wallet already contain some btc, and I don't want to lose them by stupid way.

thanks for answers

You can't. If you rename wallet.dat to something else then Multibit can't find it and thus "losing" your coins.
