well here's more from me, having a commonality with Autumn... and because my own chosen middle name is May ^_^.
I just sorta knew my first name (Laura) for a long time, I don't know how I came up with it, simple, common trite (so is my birthname) but it just was like I had always known it... you might or might not have the same feeling. Another thing I did was peeked in my baby book to see what my parent's would have named me had I been born GG... I was not too impressed with what I saw... "Edith"... who in this day and age would want such an old lady name?!
my birth middle name was my father's first name... blah... I chose May for my middle name because I love the month, my birthmonth. and Laura May sounded good together, I think there are even people with Laura-May as a first name but that seems kind of southern hickish... certainly something to avoid.
also Laura May sounds good along side my little sister's who is Hanna Marie... so maybe if you are like me and have a sibling you love, keep in mind how your names sound together since parents often adopt a pattern in their childrens names.
as for my last name, I was going to change it to the german spelling, because as with Autumn I didn't like associating with my deadbeat dad. But I settled on keeping it, as you've seen in my little comic... I like the last name. I know from my mother, changing your last name is a pain, companies get confused so easily. Keep that in mind.
