  • the answer already provided is probably the best; but if you want more, have a look at noobslab.com/2016/04/macbuntu-1604-transformation-pack-for.html which lets you change more if interested (you don't have to go mac; but use it as a howto with your own ideas)

On the top right hand corner click the gear icon and go to System Settings...

Next, go to User Accounts.

You will then see a checkbox at the bottom of the window that says:

Show my login name in the menu bar

Enable that checkbox. Your username will then appear in the top menu bar.

Here's a screenshot that might help you:
