The User account does not have to be Orangepi...
You can change the account name by running the following two lines.

As root execute the following:
           Where myname is the new account name
usermod -l myname orangepi
usermod -m -d /home/myname myname

You must not be logged on as OrangepiWhile you are at it change the passwd....  As root execute the following:
passwd myname

Your are Welcome...
changing the User Account name is easier than adding another account.
It is also safer not to have a Default Name. A hacker then needs only to guess the  password.
