The ‘name’ of the Apple ID account is its email address. It is possible to change the associated email address, if needed. Change your Apple ID - Apple Support

Accounts do not have a personal username, although some Apple devices that allow for more than one user (Mac, Apple TV box), can have a usernames that differ from real name or Apple ID account name, limited to each device.

I don’t think custom usernames are used in the Apple TV app on third party devices; not in any of the screenshots that I have seen. You may suggest such a feature for future versions of the app. Feedback - Apple TV App - Apple. I can see how that would benefit e.g. quick account switching,
