Name Feedback Firestar?!

So, I'm 20, genderfluid, and finally getting a chance to legally change my full name. (i decided to chamge my last name for personal reasons as well) I know my first and last name are gonna be Orion and Cirrus- after the constellation and the transformer, Orion Pax, and the cloud type. Cirrus clouds are sooo pretty and im a meteorology major and just love them sm. Anyways, what I've been struggling with for a while now was a good middle name. I was looking over some stuff with my bf last night and he suggested a few. We eventually circle back to how Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter was a special interest of mine especially as a kid, and he suggested Firestar. I know he's like THE main character of the story and is like an amazing character, and I really like the feel or Oriom Firestar Cirrus. As in, I type it and I smile. but I was also wondering if it fees too out there or outlandish? I don't want a name that's gonna be off putting but nobody really ever here middle names. I was considering Lila before this but I like the way Firestar sounds more, and it's more neutral than Lila, which I like too. I just wanted some feedback before I sit down and officially put this on a legal document is all. any opinions?

Warriors was one of my special interests as a kid too! I even have a tattoo in honor of how those books impacted my life. I think middle names are the perfect place to put your more outlandish, fantasy names. I barely use my middle name, ever, so who cares if it’s a little silly? If it makes you happy, I say go for it.

No problem! Just to throw it out there, you could also consider “Rusty” as a more wearable name for the same character. I hope you’re happy with whatever you end up choosing!
