Copy User?

Bixby- you can not just change the name in user accounts.

C(-)ris- I'm assuming I have to create a new user account first, then delete the account I want to copy using your instructions?

I'm really nervous about deleting the account because I really can't afford to lose any settings / plug-ins / etc.

No. If you create the new account first, it will already have its own folder. C(-)ris was suggesting a strategy that allows the new account to adopt the old folder.
No. As C(-)ris mentioned, assuming there isn't already a separate admin account configured on this Mac, it will be easier for Bosco to create a new admin account, . Otherwise, you can't delete the only configured account, not easily anyway.
