My home folder name is different from my user name.

My home folder name is and has been different from my user name, is this an issue? I'm trying to organize my MacBook Air, been reading articles on changing this but I'm wondering if I should leave it? My user name is my name but my home folder is named after one of my old companies, thanks.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)
