$ cat ~/.ssh/config 
host cvs.sourceforge.net kitenet.net doogie-cipe doogie.org  kbu kbu-normal
        compression yes
host doogie-cipe doogie.org  mirror irc king
        user adam
host *
        user doogie

My username on this box is adam.  This config files says that by default, the
username s/b doogie on all remote boxes, except those I have specified above.

Having different names on your local box as compared to remote boxes is not
something the remote boxes should ever worry about.
