Recently I needed to “rename” a user (mischa_new -> mischa-new). Personally I find changing only the name a bit ugly and confusing. So this is how I addressed it:
Change username
usermod -l mischa-new mischa_new;
Change home directory (move)
usermod -d /home/mischa-new -m mischa-new;
Change group name
groupmod -n mischa-new mischa_new;
