Q: How do I edit my account name on my Mac?

I want to change my name on my Mac. I will be keeping the same account. The reason for the change is because I am married and my name is changed. How can I do this without losing my current account?

I have read that I have to create a new account and transfer everything after I give the new account administrator rights. Is there any way that I can go around that and just edit my current name? I bought this Mac brand new and it has always been mine (and will continue to be mine); I don't want to lose any of my stuff.

Is this possible?

 

I'm also not referring to System Preferences> Sharing. I'm referring to the actual account name on the Mac.

Thank you.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
