Be very careful with this. Even the most cautious people can fall prey to a creep who knows how to dig for information you think is safe. It is particularly unsafe if you have ever used your real name in any social media. I would stick with variants if you really want a tie in with your real name. Perhaps consider using a version of your name in a different language? For example if your name is Flora you could use Florette. Maybe for the surname look up the origins behind your own surname and use a word relating to that. My own real life surname means "vigilant" which is an entirely different word to my actual surname so something like that would be safe to use.

Also your current name is pretty cute
