You'll want a -a on that cp to preserve permissions.

usermod -l and a symlink is my plan.

Nice plan, I used a symlink to quickly heal fixed paths in configs like

ln -s /home/NewAffirmingName/ /home/OldName/

That way if a setting I transferred over is trying to pull a file from /home/OldName/Gamesave instead of ~/Gamesave it will still work... unless it doesn't recognize symlinks... but for a lot of stuff it has been working.
