Should I change my name?

So this issue has come up a few times now, but I've never really asked others about their opinion on it. When I first became a furry, I really wasn't sure what to call myself, but ultimately decided on the name Bismarck out of my love of history and respect for the man himself. Plus I just thought it sounded pretty classy and at least semi-professional. Though my character changed over time, Bismarck eventually settled on my cheetah-hyena character, which was effectively "me" before Zelse came along. Although I loved the character, there was always a bit of a disconnect, like Bismarck and I were still separate. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that Zelse was a far better representation of my true self, and decided to switch to him as my main sona. Except that presented a problem: pretty much everyone in the furry community knows me as Bismarck, not Zelse, but Zelse is now "me." I really don't want to go through the hassle of making a new FA page, especially since Zelse is taken. I don't have an Inkbunny, Weasyl, or other pages, so those might work, but again, I'd prefer to keep this as easy as possible.
What do you guys think? Should I try and change my name or just stick to Bismarck?

It'll take a bit for your old friends to convert from Bismarck to Zelse.
I'm going through the same thing when people are switching from calling me Canas to Khoury.
Trust me, it'll take a while, but it'll happen. ^^
