That's all you're going to tell us? 

Can you tell us how you managed to get your user name and home folder
not to match to begin with? 

Can you tell us how exactly they don't match (are they completely
different, slightly different, how different are they)?

Yes, that is a problem.

I am assuming you are running a recent version of Mac OS X since you
didn't tell us that. You should be able to go into System Preferences >
Users & Groups, unlock the panel if needed, then right-click your name
in the left side of the panel, and choose Advanced Options from the
resulting pop-up menu. The resulting sheet will show you the Account
Name (your short user name) and the Home Directory (the location of your
user home folder). You can edit these as desired. Note, however, that
changing the Home Directory path won't actually make any file system
changes. It's up to you to create, move, or rename your actual home
folder in the file system as an extra step.
