No worries, glad to help!

The snippet of code you are showing really does not provide enough context. It looks to be from a plugin … it may be useful to link to a http://pastebin.com of the code.

@bluu123 – Unfortunately the Twenty Twelve theme does not have (any?) function_exists checks so the code you are using in your Child-Theme’s functions.php is conflicting with the Twenty Twelve functions.php code. What is happening is you are getting errors and these are preventing your site from displaying.

For a more explicit example of what I referred to above, please feel free to visit this article I also wrote earlier today: http://wpfirstaid.com/2013/01/change-twenty-twelve-home-menu-name/

Also to note, a Child-Theme will use the complete Parent-Theme functions.php file, you do not need to copy *all* of it into your Child-Theme; and, you should also take into consideration how well the Parent-Theme was written to be extended, and in what fashion, by a Child-Theme, too.

@bluu123 – This may be a bit involved as Twenty Twelve is basically turning on the “Show Home” feature of the WordPress default menu system in the functions.php template file.

IF you look around line 187 in functions.php you will find the following code:

/**
 * Makes our wp_nav_menu() fallback -- wp_page_menu() -- show a home link.
 *
 * @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
 */
function twentytwelve_page_menu_args( $args ) {
	if ( ! isset( $args['show_home'] ) )
		$args['show_home'] = true;
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_page_menu_args', 'twentytwelve_page_menu_args' );

Where the line reads $args['show_home'] = true; change the word true to what you want the new “Home” name to be (remember to use quotes around the new home name, too).

See this codex page for more information: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_page_menu

Also to note, the best way to do this is to create a Child-Theme and add a similar code to the Child-Theme’s functions.php template file rather than modify the Twenty Twelve files as your edits will be reverted with any core updates to the Twenty Twelve theme.
