Nothing says you can't do it this way (name based virtual hosts) but if
you look in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf - you will find the line,
# UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home
# of a username on the system (depending on home directory
#<Directory /home/*/public_html>
which is the apache standard way of serving users home directories.
Of course the 'apache' user must be able to descend and read the files
in the various /home/*/public_html directories as well.
