Hello!


You can rename your macOS user account and home folder, which were named when the account was created: Change the name of your macOS user account and home folder - Apple Support. These steps must be performed in another administrator user account on your Mac: Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support.


If you need more help, let us know.
