Hanko for old family name

I would like to create a hanko for personal use and would like to use an old family name that is pronounced Chiba, just like the city in japan. I did some simple translating, and came upon the following characters (I hope that it shows up properly in this forum):
千葉
Would this be appropriate to turn into a simple hanko?
Thank you so much!

If you know that it is the same characters as Chiba Prefecture, then you got it right. 千葉。
I would guess that most (95+%) last name Chiba is written 千葉.
But there are few that are written 千羽, 千場, 千馬, etc. all pronounced chiba, so it may be worth verifying.

Are you perhaps trying to make one by yourself instead of ordering/buying one from a professional hanko dealer? If so, I would suggest you chose a more artistic design than the one you posted. But if it's going to be hand-carved, I'd say that the crookedness would automatically be artistic, and also work as a signature which hanko is all about.
