NAMES
Many people
who come to Islam choose to change their name to an arabic name,
or adopt an arabic nickname. This is not obligatory in Islam and
in many cases is not recommended. The only time a name should be
changed is when it carries a negative or insulting meaning, otherwise
the universality of Islam is such that there are Muslims with names
from Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Russian and many other origins.
