Changing Nickname

I have been asked to change the Nickname of a client to something totally different (for example, everything under Smith-Martin would now be Doe-Carter but it is the same client/file).  This file has been open in Timeslips for four months and one invoice has been generated.  If I change the Nickname, will this also change past slip entries, the invoice generated & payments made from the old Nickname to the new Nickname?  Also, if I need to make a report with the new Nickname in the future, will it include time and expenses that were listed under the old Nickname?  This is also a LEDES file, if that would be affected.

Thanks so much
