Writer's Block: A rose by any other name

I like all three of my names, but I think they sound a little dorky when you say them together. Even just the first and last sound a little awkward together. When I say my full name, I feel like my tongue gets in its own way, somehow. I feel like there needs to be some different sound somewhere in there for maximum aesthetic appeal and ease of pronunciation. I do like the way it looks written out, though.
My opportunity to change it will probably come if and when I get married. I would probably change it. I don't know if I would keep my last name on as a middle name, or not. Certainly no hyphenation, because that would look and sound dumb with that combination.
But you can guarantee that if I have kids, I will be damned careful in picking names for them that I enjoy saying and don't stumble over if I say the whole thing. After all, it's important to really be able to get some serious authority in saying the kid's first, middle, and last names in a loud and angry voice when they do something wrong. :)
