Spelling error

[MACulk]

I recently sent in my MacBook Pro for repairs, when I got it back the name that is assigned to my computer was spelled incorrectly. Now, everywhere on my computer, I have to correct my name, and in most cases cannot. I was hoping that somebody here could tell me how to fix this.

Sincerely,
There is an "a" and a "h" in Meaghan

What was the problem? Was it HDD/SSD related?
I think they've formatted it and along with a fresh install created a new user.
In this case you'd better create a new user and move all your stuff there.

Also, what are you correcting? (I mean, the names of what?)

Thank you for your advice, I (quite obviously) don't really know what I'm talking about. I just know, that after I got it back the name of the computer was changed to Megan Culk's Macbook Pro. Not a huge problem, but I find myself having to add those two little letters all the time, and was hoping there was an easy was to fix this.
