If you mean renaming /home that is probably not a good idea. There are lots of scripts and other applications, and configuration details that expect the current user to have a home directory in /home/username With work you might be able to find them all but it probably isn't worth the effort. How about just using something like Ubuntu One to synchronise the bits you need syncing? The idea being you don't need to keep copying files between machines at all as they are always in-sync.
