changing database name in sql server script

I created a schema script for an sql server database called test.

I want to execute this script in the same server where the test database is found, but for sure with different name, suppose test2.

when I opened the scripts, it starts by CREATE DATABASE [test] and the name test is used many times in the script. so how to safely change database name in the script without affecting the original database?

Note: changing name by just replacing it's name is not a solution because it's name is a part of many procedures and functions

No need to use database name in each and every query. Just use 

USE [Database_Name]

in the above of the script file, then it will consider the database for the entire script until you specify another database name inside the script.

Eg:- 

USE My_Database_1

Script_1
Script_2
.
.
Script_n
--Another Database if required
USE My_Database_2

Script_1
Script_2
.
.
Script_n
