Hiya Jaded.
Choosing a name is something that most people never get a chance to do. It is good that you are open to hear other's opinions...maybe you will hear something that you hadn't thought about and help settle any questions in your mind. I agree with Mikko that you may want to consider picking a name that you can be proud of years from now, (can't tell you how many people I know that, years later, are ashamed of the tattoos they chose when they were in their early 20s...a name can't be hidden under long sleeves).
Like others, I voted, but what we think is only helpful if we validate the name you have chosen for yourself. If it doesn't, then it can only cause confusion and doubt if you take it too seriously. You stated that you have pretty much made up your mind, so, while giving advice is never a great idea, my comment is that you might consider looking deep within yourself and find your true name. What name "feels" right? What name makes your soul leap with joy? That is the one.
Whatever you choose, it will be great...Please keep us posted on how things go, and how you feel when you get that first look at your new driver's license and credit card with your new name...
