Pen name vs Pen name – which should I use?

As an aspiring author of satirical and psychological horror, I wish to go by a more significant and memorable name than my own – Brandon Lee – but I can't decide which to use:

Avīci (pronounced uh-vee-chee; this name derives from what is considered the lowest circle of hell in Buddhism… plus, it sounds like one of those famous poets from the romantic era)

or

Rocky Horror (one of my sources of inspiration is the cult classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show).

Or maybe I could use the pseudonym 'Avīci' for my more serious works and 'Rocky Horror' for my more light-hearted? Opinions? Suggestions? Thanks!
