The "username" idea is not practical.

What if you want to give instructions to teach your friend?
How would you tell him to go to his home folder? 

- Go to Places then "Mike".

What if the vendor who installed the system to him chose some generic
username to him? what if instead of "Mike" he put "Michael"? There won't
be a consistent way to call it, how would he call it when he doesn't
know that it's the "home" folder? he will call it "Mike's" folder? kinda
weird.

We need a generic name for the folder so that it can be referred in a generic 
sense without knowing the username of the specific user account. 
I vote for "User Home", or if you don't like white spaces call it "Userhome" 
(Username is also lacking the whitespace, isn't it?).
