Need advice on my tattoo ideas?

So I want to get a tat pretty bad, My last name is Withers so my first idea was going to be putting my last name in old english down on my right arm tricep with a cross for the T. But when I asked my old brother and sister they didn't think it was a great idea to put my last name down my arm. They asked at first if I forgot our last name and needed help with it. So now I'm rethinking the idea of a tattoo. One would be going back to the last name or I would put a Yankee symbol on the inter left forearm. I'm a die hard bleed pinstripes fan of the Yanks so that is why its my other idea. What do you think, Other ideas excepted.
