I created a separate user account for my wife and I noticed a couple of things.

1) On the menu bar when she is logged in her name shows, but when I'm logged in a silhouette icon shows. How do I change that to my name like it does for her?

2) After creating her account as a standard user I then changed it to an administrator account so I could monkey around with it. I then realized that most of the changes could be made without it being an administrator account so I changed it back. Now from my administrator account in the settings/users section I can't access her account like I could before. Is that normal?

Not sure about your second question.
