Both my wife and I run 10.7.5 on MacBook Pros. On my wife's machine (2012 MB Pro) she cannot rename a bookmark folder she creates in Google Chrome. All her new bookmark folders are called new folder.

I would highly advice against re-installing chrome.
What I've found is that this feature is hidden and not very intuitive, but it's there. All you have to do, believe it or not, is:
For the official instructions.
That's it. You can't hit F2 when a folder is selected, which is a mystery to me. Renaming can also be done in a more painful manner through the bookmarks bar:
These are the only two ways about it to my knowledge.
