I've also noticed that if you plan to do anything LONG TERM and serious with your persona (such as write books, or create some type of art that you intend to make for the rest of your life) then you really are better off using an umbrella name that is as close to your true persona as possible...
If it's a character with its own personality, odds are you'll eventually outgrow it no matter how old you were when you create it. The feeling just passes.
But if your umbrella name is already pretty much your actual name, there's nothing to outgrow.
Take Lisa Frank for example...

She just threw her own damn name on top of the entire operation and went on to make millions upon millions...
Shit, prolly more than a billion.
She could have called it anything, and of course there's the danger of the whole brand dying with her.
But it worked real good for the course of her own life.
It was just her.
