Q: how to change user name?

I tried the instructions on the Apple Support page "Change your OS X account name and home directory name" and the renamed account showed up as an entirely new user, with none of my saved settings etc. Luckily Carbon Copy Cloner was able to restore my old settings. But I still would like to know how to change my user name.

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), 3.4 GHz i5; 8 GB Ram
