MySQL Root Account

I'm looking for opinions, which I know most of people on this list have. 
By default, the MySQL administrative account (the one with superuser 
privileges in MySQL), is named "root." This seems like a really 
unfortunate choice of names, in that the system superuser account is 
likewise named "root." I'm thinking of changing it to something more 
reasonable, like "dba" or "admin." It seems like a good idea to me, but 
I'm open to other opinions.

Thanks,

Kurt
