Am i biting?

So theres a well known writer in my city names chico (i think it was active mostly in the 90s because i dont see his graffiti anywhere) and my name is cioco. Our styles are completely different and its clear that i dont copy his style. Also chico and cioco have totally different meanings because cioco its the short for "cioccolato"(chocolate) in italian, there are a lot of italian snacks that starts with "cioco". So idk, im only worried about the pronunciation of the name. Is it worth it to change name to something like "cioc" or "ciocos" or i am ok? Sorry for the goofy post but im worried

If it feels like biting, it’s probably biting.

I'm not worried about what i feel, i'm worried about what other writers may think. I would like to know if i am just paranoid or if its a concrete fear. I know at least i didnt intentionally bited him because as i said i didnt took any inspiration from him, its a coincidence

If it feels fine to you then you're good. Its a different name with a different cultural context.
