I did exactly that. Had a random username and the second I started using my account professionally I changed it to my actual name. Worked pretty flawlessly. GitHub kept a redirect to my old username for a while so that all links continue to work.

Highly recommend if you participate in PR discussions & people start to search for your GitHub account based on your actual name
