You should provide more details about what you are providing for parms to the merge command. You may need to do this in multiple merges. Let's say you made the branch at r100, committed to it at r101 renamed it at r102 and committed again at r103. You would probably need to merge this in two commands:
svn merge r100:101 url://old_branch_name@100 wc
svn merge r102:103 url://new_branch_name wc
For the first command, I am showing the peg revision syntax. In theory, this command should work too:
svn merge r100:101 url://new_branch_name wc
