Would you change/consider changing your islamic name?
OP - March 25, 2012, 04:03 PM

So I got this idea from Nessa's thread (who was actually talking about online name change).
I was thinking if, for example, your name was mohammed, would you change it to suit your new (post-islam) identity? Would you formally (legal papers n all) change it or just tell everyone that you now want to be known as Mike or Mickey or Mo or whatever?

My personal opinion is no cause my name isn't terribly islamic to begin with, and even if it were, I think it would be an important part of my identity I wouldn't want to lose officialy (in a legal process or such).

It's definitely something I've thought about. I don't know, I might do it.
