Getting mail in general

If you aren’t concerned about the people living with you, then don’t be concerned about putting whatever first name you want for your address! You NEED to have your last name correct, or else they might not find you, but the first name is irrelevant. Feel free to use whatever name you’re comfortable with! The only exception here is if your mail might get stuck in customs. Sometimes you have to identify yourself, and if it’s a different name than what your ID says, it might be trouble. I had that happening to me once, but at my door. I went and got the initial letter from court that stated that I was intending to change my name to what it said on the mail, so they ended up not making a fuss and gave it to me. Keep this in mind though.
