Personally, I tend to avoid issues like this by using the Alias map.
In my eyes, thats what it's for.
Create a subset of Aliases (the important bits that you actually interact with). Use those in tests. The full name map remains the full name map.
Then, if something breaks or changes, update the name map, ensure the that Alias object retains the same naming convention (which is possible 98% of the time in my experience) and the tests will continue to work.
Maintain the name map. Use the Alias map to take the pain out maintaining the link between name map and tests.
That said, a global find replace would still be handy.
Agree with Colin_McCrae we also followed same approched. mapped all objects and create subset in Aliases. Which is helpfull for us to mantain Objects and scripts.
Here TC should give us any machanism which should update object details in Script, If we update in namemap. (Auto script updation if object details update in name map)
