Whichever you decide, please note that it would be difficult to change it once you choose. Changing the store name does not update the store URL. While the store can still be found with the old URL, many sellers are unhappy with the esthetics of the mismatch.
Essentially, the old store must be closed and a new store opened to get the new store URL to match the new store name.
There is a long discussion here about how to make the store URL match a new store name if the store is renamed while active.

People get into trouble when they change to a new store name without first closing the store; and then they find the old URL is not updated with a name change. The subsequent workaround to get a matching URL can be quite tedious because eBay will hold/reserve a store name for 30 days after the store is closed.
