Caution: Do not rename a user's home folder
If you ever want to change your short user name on purpose, Apple provides a solution -- at 40 steps, this is not something to undertake lightly. I've got a better solution, straight from my Apple Support Essentials class notes. It works best if you're not doing it when logged in as the user is question -- logging is as another admin user works best.
Obviously, you should replace "olduser" and "newuser" with the appropriate usernames on your machine. And also, this does not work with encrypted home folders.
