To change the short name (also the name of your home folder/user account folder in Users > YOU) follow Apple's instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428?viewlocale=en_US Easily found via http://www.bing.com/search?q=mac+os+x+change+user+name&go=&form=QBLH&filt=all&qs=n or any other good search engine
