Oh man. I think they both have nice sounds, first off. Story feels like such a commonplace word to use for a name, though. I tend to be hyper-alert to mentions of my name so I don't know how I'd feel about having a name that was used in every day conversation like that. I always wonder how people named things like Ann or Ben (an or been) survive. Maybe they're better at filtering it out? But it still sounds stressful to me. Fable, on the other hand, is pretty and not said nearly as often, but while the vibe is fantastical and magical, due to the nature of fables, it's also rather childish. And it can be used derisively too, it'd be sort of like being named "Myth."

In the end I think I'd go with Story.
