You can simply copy it to another folder and rename it there.

Right-click the list, move the mouse a little way, then release the button.
Choose Copy. Open the copy and give it a different name, or simply leave it
as a duplicate.

You can then move it back to the default folder. Brian's method works too,
but entails a little more risk since you can make mistakes and lose the
entire list.
