    I’m confused. Is there any way to change the author name without rewrite rules or plugins? I see all these other sites with /author/some-cool-name/ and mine is stuck at /author/admin/ (boring!). I want to change it using stock WP.

    You mean a user nicename (slug). Yes, you can edit a database manually in PhpMyAdmin.
    Field to edit is user_nicename in table wp_users
