In case you don't know, the 'pi' user can be renamed to whatever you
want, so that might be an alternative way to reach your goal instead of
creating a separate 'paulf' user.

Method I used is here:
  https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/14902

I used it successfully a while ago on a RPi 4, first release of its OS.
Below are my notes from doing that, I don't recall any other
information, I did it a while ago and am unaware of any problems.

exec sudo -s
(now root)
cd /
usermod -l david -d /home/david -m pi
/lib/systemd/systemd --user
kill 480 # looks like the above failed until I killed some process and retried
usermod -l david -d /home/david -m pi
groupmod -n david pi
reboot
now cant sudo
exec sudo -s
prompts for david password and accepts it
passwd to change david password, accepted
