I think im going to go with my original choice of Ibrahim AbdulHaqq.

One thing though, the Qur'an commands us to be obidient to our parents right? Well my Dad's probably not going to like my name change, my mum should be ok with it.

subhanallah brother, ibraheem abdull haqq, is superb but

ever heard of the name Umayr, Umair? bootifull aint it would suit you just right aswell

abd-Allah Umayr eh eh eh? i can see that suitin you tip top

Ibraheem AbdulHaqq is a good name I would stick with it. Everyone will know ur Muslim too. Are all your friends/family gonna call you Ibraheem or your old name? Its gonna be hard for everyone to adjust

What about

Gabriel Ibraheem AbdulHaqq

Sounds really nice does it not?

Sounds good, perhaps have people call you by the name first without changing it. If you really want to change it after sometime then that is entirely your choice.

p.s how long have you been a muslim?

James,

Regarding the name Abdul Haqq, which is a beautiful name, I think it's important to clarify that:

Abdul means servant of
Al-Haqq is a name of Allaah

So "the Truth" here is in reference to Allaah.

And here's a little more explanation of the name:

From: http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/2594/


And Allaah the Exalted Knows best.

My opinion is that it is not very important to change your name. I wanted to change my name to Mustafa Abul-Rahman about 23 years ago, but I decided not to after I saw how it upset my Christian parents. I legally changed my name in 2004 after both of my parents had died. If and when you change your name, I highly recommend that you retain your family name, as I did mine, out of respect for your father.

Ask your parents.If they don't feel bad about that take an Islamic name.Otherwise you don't have to change your name.

But if you want, then take my name Enis, comes from the arabic Enes/Anas and means friend.It is also the name of the Prophet's close friend Anas bin Malik.

Again, I agree with Sister Jolie Fleur. However, I would like to add that you are who you are. Your name i not any different from the color of a car. Your faith is in your heart and mind and will not b affected by your name. Rather than changing your name, lead by example and you impress people, you help your Faith and Umma.

Ibrahim.

Just wanted to ask is mark your fathers name?

If so, keep your fathers name and ur surname in your name, dont change that.

and yorkshire rocks!

I have also been looking for a muslim name today. Not for an official name change though, I think that would be disrespectful to my parents. Just as a personal expression of my commitment to Allah.

I've always really liked Mahmoud. Some others I like are Omar, Sajid (or Saajid, see different spellings of the same names sometimes). So maybe I can pick two of these, one as a first name and the other as a last name. Mahmoud Sajid I like, not something I hear too often. I'd like to know what the others here think.

Isnt JMb the dude who converted to a kafir.

Allahu Alam, But the names are beautiful anyhow regardless!
I would go with Muhammad after the prophet (PBUH)

By converted to a Kafir does he mean JMB's witness was a kafir, or JMB converted to a kafir religion which I dont think is the proper use of the word but Im just checking as I have no clue

He started out as a Kafir then he became Muslim then he became Kafir. Allah describes this type of person in the Quran
"Surely (as for) those who believe then disbelieve, again believe and again disbelieve, then increase in disbelief, Allah will not forgive them nor guide them in the (right) path." (4:137)
