Problem description: when i use the rename verb in-game it just puts the new name on top of the old name and it doesn't replace the old name on the map. is there a code to replace the old name with the new one on the map?

You must create the name again, what are you using to display names on map?

Then just recall M.AddGuildName(newname) :P

If it doesnt help, yoiu have to manually remove the old name and then recall.
But from what I've seen you just need the first thing.

            Rename(mob/M in world)
                set category = "Administration"
                set desc="Change A Mob's Name or check for nameless players"
                var/newname = input("Change name to what?") as text

                if(GMLockCheck())
                    usr<<"<font color=red>Your Admin Powers Are Locked."
                    return

                if(Check_For_Syms(newname,SYM_TAGS) == TRUE)
                    alert("Your name may not have symbols in it.")

                for(var/mob/N in world)
                    if(N.name==""||N.name==null||N.name==0)
                        N.name="NameLess"
                        usr<<"<font color=red>Found Nameless. Renamed to NameLess. Key: [N.key]"
                M.name=newname
                usr << "You <font color = green>Changed</font> [M]`s name"
                spawn M.AdddName(newname)
                AdminMessage("[usr] ([usr.key]) has changed [M]'s name ([M.key])")


That would be your final code, just a line more.
