I don't really know if this is the right place to post this but for the longest time I've been thinking about changing my last name and I'm deciding I'm finally going to do it. I just want to know if anyone can give me some good suggestions. My birth name is Choudhury but I don't like it and would rather have something Islamic.

My birth name is Choudhury but I don't like it and would rather have something Islamic. proper islamic names are like dawud ibn yahya al qurayshi, your name, son of you our dads name, al your tribes names. i dont think you can really do that on western documents. i changed my name upon taking shahada to dawud beale, i retained my surname name whilst changing first name and getting rid of middle name. my daughter is fatimah dawud, her name then my first name. why not call yourself after your dads first name as this is most in line with islamic teachings, rather than having a "family surname" like westerners do. most muslims seem to follow the western way but i called my daughter after my first name rather than family name of my father |

Islamically one is not allowed to change ones surname (or family name) I thought? This is so ties of kinship and genealogy are not confused. I think you can adopt a different name to use...but you cannot formally change it forever...so if you have children they do not taken on your 'new name'...they keep your old name. Do you dislike your current name because it sounds like a swear word?
