+1 to not changing it. If you are in an organization that lets you influence your title then your title probably doesn't matter within the organization. If you really feel you want to change it then look for some research about which words are more valuable in job titles and add some of those. I believe SAGE did a salary survey that included some of that information, some job boards also make suggestions. Keep in mind that the value of a title changes year-to-year so having "DevOps" in your title now won't help you in a few years when the term goes out of fashion.
