I don’t think I would worry about it. It’s similar but not the same.
In addition, it would need to be reported. It’s hardly the sort of name that would provoke a person to do that. Then after it’s reported, support has to agree that it breaks TOS.
Have offensive racial, ethnic, national, or cultural connotations
Include hate speech or bigoted slurs
Reference sexual acts or real life violence
Are pornographic
Make inappropriate references to human anatomy or bodily functions
Reference illegal drugs or activities
Reference religious or historical figures
Reference real-life people
Reference names of copyrighted or trademarked characters, materials, or products
Use misspellings or alternative spellings of names that violate any of the above rules
Since it’s not identical, imo it doesn’t reference a trademarked character. Maybe if you had used Tweety Bird it would be, but not Tweety The Sweety.
Your name is perfectly fine. (I like it a lot, in fact. )
Thanks for asking!
Wee bit more information, because sometimes people are curious about this: Occasionally a copyright holder will contact us and ask us to remove one of the names to which they have rights. For instance, if someone used Tweety Bird (the “proper name” of the Warner Bros. Company character) and the Warner Bros. company was to directly ask us to disallow the name, we would do so. But your name isn’t an exact copy and we’re not being petitioned by the copyright holder about it, so you’re good.
