mv
or: usermod

But I would not recommend to do this. There might be just so many
applications installed with user configuration files in $HOME, which
have a full pathname in some configuration setting.

If you'd now change the $HOME directory for "user1" from /home/user1
to /home/1-user, these applications might have problems, as they
reference "/home/user1".
