Elaine,
you can read the tree using the 'ape' package in R:
library(ape)
tree<-read.nexus('path_to_your_tree.nex')
then, you will find the tip labels in the following vector:
tree$tip.label
you can change the names by selecting one element in the vector and
modifying it, for example:
tree$tip.label[20]<-"Paridae"
or
tree$tip.label['BB3']<-"Paridae"
