Brother,dont take me wrong but we tend get names from crickters and film stars etc.

Try to choose a name from THE SAHABA and if you are lucky and if your father has also converted islam then you can use the Arab style

example: if your muslim name is xyz and if your muslim father name is abc then you can use your name as xyz bin abc

He can do that even if his father is a non-Muslim. For instance: Muhammad bin William

The Sahaba (radiya Allahu 'anhum) would be "name bin father's name" even if their fathers were non-Muslims.

Also, converts (or reverts if you prefer that word) often retain their surnames.

Example: (Shaykh) Nuh Ha Mim Keller

(I'm a convert too)
