Try it and tell us what happens!

Honestly in my experience messing with databases in production is not a good idea. I recommend making a test instance to see what happens. The alternative is to backup the database and try it. My guess is that it will work, and there shouldn't be a huge problem from it, but there might be some strange problems that pop up from it.

Good idea i always test in production :) yeah i will have to figure it out myself or the user just takes a different name.
