Hi Hanna,
I am more likely to belong to your parent's generation. Happy amateur and female, hmmm, you qualify for two of those.
I'd go with the initials rather than your first name. The initials are more professional and will identify you without telling the world who you are (if that makes sense).
I used to sign with my first and last names until I realised that I was more comfortable just using initial and maiden name and married name hypenated. I had to use both surnames as there are at last count 15 females with my married name, in Cairns. Port is very rare however.
I have a pastel portrait in my collection done by a man and he signs his full name and the date as well as the subject's name and it all takes up a substantial part of one side of the background. He used similar tones as the background and unless you get close up you don't even notice it and it becomes part of the overall design.
So maybe we females need to be more out there and confident of our abilities.
