Depends on how you wish to live. If you want to be an activist, draw attention, challenge social norms, and make people uncomfortable, all while outing yourself by choice, then keep your male name.

Personally, I prefer to blend in with a name that's more in line with how I present myself to society. Then again, I don't really find I have a lot in common with most transsexuals.

To each their own. I'd just prefer to live as the woman that I feel I really am rather than trying to make a statement or change the world. Maybe it's selfish. Lol...at any rate, I am still "who I am".

I'm telling you to change your name to etna. Lol
