Question on my branding

Hi all! I am BRAND new (pun intended) on YT so have some flexibility in crafting my brand and I want to do it intentionally. My name is India Witkin and I am creating content about food, travel, history, and self discovery. It will be very documentary style videos (vlogy style + talking head, explainers, interviews). I will have a food series coming out later this year that will be comprised of seasons (8 episodes posted once a week) that will be called INDIA EATS THE WORLD. I imagine this as a YT playlist. I am thinking of either calling the channel and my handle India Witkin OR I am thinking of changing the name of my channel and handle to My Name is India. Alternatively I can have my handle be @mynameisindia and keep the branding to just my name across. I am not a huge fan of my last name and constantly hear how confusing my name is to people ("wait india is your name??"). I know I need to center my name. What do people think!?

Keep branding to India Witkin across YT channel, handle, IG and Tiktok

Change branding to My Name is India across YT channel, handle, IG and Tiktok

Keep branding to India Witkin across all channels, but make @mynameisindia as my handle.
