rename table/alter initial extent

Is there a way to rename a table in Oracle 8i. I want to change the initial extent setting on a lot of tables eg

create table TABLENAME2
as select * from TABLENAME1;
drop table TABLENAME1;
alter table TABLENAME2 rename to TABLENAME1;

or do you have to do
create table TABLENAME2
as select * from TABLENAME1;
drop table TABLENAME1;
create table TABLENAME1
as select * from TABLENAME2;
drop TABLENAME2;

or is there any other method for altering the initial extent (I thought about exp/imp but how do you change the value for initial_extent?).

Thanks
