Hey, whatever you want. It's your name, and if you're fine with the double s, that's cool.
That reminds me: When my grandmother was visiting this past week, she was telling me about some old jewellery of hers and who she was thinking would inherit it. I actually tend to get a bit sad when this topic comes up, and this time was no exception. Because I'm AMAB, I always get overlooked when the women of the family are passing on their jewellery to the younger generations. I imagine that my mother has corrected this in her will, since she's mentioned that she updated it sometime in the past year. (Previously, her jewellery was set to go to my female cousins, with the possibility of a small amount going to any daughters-in-law or granddaughters she might have in the future.)
Anyway. My grandmother was talking about a locket from when she was young engraved with her initial (which is an M), and how she gave it to my cousin (whose name also begins with an M) because they're the only one of her grandchildren with an M initial. It made me even more dysphoric than these conversations usually do, considering that my chosen name has an M initial. Oh, well. I guess it's not that important.
The other thing is many metals can only be resized so far when it comes to rings.
