Names

First of all: I really like my birthname! (Thanks to to my parents for giving me a great name!)
But - of course - it's a female name.

Actually, it didn't take up long for me to find a "new" name. I actually don't really know how I came up with it, it just made *click* or so... :D
Anyway, until today I haven't told anyone about it. So, today my mum and I talked about changing my name - the whole proceeding, costs and everything. And she asked me if I had already chosen a name, so I told her.
And she really liked it! That made me really happy, because I was really scared she wouldn't like it. I also considered the (two) names I would've gotten if I had been biological male, but I don't like them. And I also don't want a second name.

But when I asked her and her boyfriend if they could call me by this name and use male pronouns, they were kind of shocked. I don't know what they expected...
They said it would be weird if they would call me "Jonah" with male pronouns at home and in public my birthname with female pronouns.
[I said they could just neither use the male nor the female name in public - no direct adressing.]

UPDATE:
My mum said if she had known the name (I chose) at my birth and I had been male (obviously), she would've named me like it, too.
That made so happy right now. (:
Nevertheless, there's the fact, they refused to use male pronouns... -.-
