You can easily change the name of your layers, it sounds like your bottom layer is locked, does it have a little padlock symbol beside it?

That also removed the locked background layer problem. My first step is always to open the file, select all (Ctrl+A) and copy (Ctrl+C), create a new file (Ctrl+N) (which will automatically be the right size to accommodate the copied selection), and paste (Ctrl+V).
