Something completely anonymous can be frightening, as you've already read. It removes a sense of control. Do you want a gals 1st impression of you to be that?
I think the note is sweet, but you should give her some hint as to who it is. A nickname, or your number. I agree, your actual name might be a bit aggressive. Use finesse.
I've gotten 'anonymous' flowers but I knew (well, strongly suspected) who it was & I knew who to ask to find out for certain. Then its alright.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
