What you see (xyz@abc) is the bash prompt:
xyzis the usernameabcis the hostname
You can tune it by modifying the variable PS1 in the file ~/.bashrc. You may see the Ubuntu documentation: Customizing Bash Prompt.
Simply open ~/.bashrc file in a text editor like nano, create new line filled with a copy of the PS1 definition. For your need, you will replace the u username tag by coco if you want to see coco in place of xyz.
Inside of ~/.bashrc:
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
#PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}[33[01;32m]u@h[33[00m]:[33[01;34m]w[33[00m]$ '
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}[33[01;32m]coco@h[33[00m]:[33[01;34m]w[33[00m]$ '
else
#PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u@h:w$ '
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}coco@h:w$ '
fi
