How do I rename the main user folder on my MacBook Pro?

Macintosh HD>Users>"Main user"

I originally named this folder with both mine and my husband's first names, but I use the computer for work and it somehow pulls this folder name and tags documents with this name. It feels unprofessional to have my husband's name on my professional documents. How do I rename it? It seems to be locked/grayed out. Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1
