So, you do as stated,
delete characte you want to re name,
then on a different blizzard account log in and make a new character with the same name of the character you deleted, wait about 5 - 10 mins after you delete the character to make the new one.
then play that character for a short time to get it active.
then close down battle net client / wow client, wait 10 - 15 mins.
then open it and log into the main account that had the original character you deleted,
go to the section to get back deleted character and restore, if like myself that option is not there put in a ticket to support and they will help you get character back and like stated it has a "!" after the name and you have to rre name it.
a little long winded but it does work.
