Can I rename the Home folder?

I replaced my MacBook with an iMac last year (that was my first mistake!) I migrated all my data to the iMac but did not realize until recently that I now have two different Home folders with the same name. That is my second mistake, which leads to more confusion than I need. Is it possible to rename the original Home folder or modify it somehow to distinguish it from the newer one?


TIA for your thoughts on this.




MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
