Hello,
Have you tried to look at "xwiki.db" property in xwiki.cfg?
#-# [Since 1.6M1]
  #-# Force the database name for the main wiki.
 # xwiki.db=xwiki 
Usually, when I want to change my main wiki name, I change both variables
(in hibernate, and xwiki.cfg), and it works without any troubles.
Good luck
Guillaume

  Creating DB with name 'xwiki' and modifying
hibernate.cfg.xml accordingly
 works, but that's a workaround.
 Still want to give custom names to XWiki database (to differentiate
 versions
 on upgrades)
