Changing one's name when accepting Islam
Q: I just took my shahada and became a Muslim Alhamdulillah. I have a concern about my name, the sister told me that I should have a new name - a Muslim name. But I don’t want to change it as it doesn’t have any bad meaning in Islam or any other languages.
I am aware that it’s not compulsory to change it but I wanted to confirm if I can keep my name.
