It should match your short username for the account.

By default, the OS uses all lowercase for the account username, but you can change that when you create the account.

It's possible. Mine is because I set it up that way.
If you don't follow the directions precisely, you'll end up with it creating a new home folder, but you can still change the home folder directory.
Hello macjack & Barney-15E,
I renamed the home folder (capitalised) and stopped at this moment.
I think that in this case macOS will create a new home folder, except that the existing is also renamed (capitalised), but this is not possible....
You can use the directions in this Apple Support Topic to change the name:

Also, it may be the difference between the full name and the short name.
