As Lanwench mentions, strength of password is more important than
is the display name used. However, if you implement lockout and
also have things that use the built-in admin account, then renaming
can sometimes avoid its being locked and also slow some attempts
(from external, ie. not from a domain account).
In point of fact it is pretty simple to discover to what it has been
renamed if one has access to an authenticated account.
What I consider more important is not using the same password
on servers as on workstations, and changing the password often
particularly on workstations if a standard password is used on
many of them.
