I would not think I could live up to that name Akhi.And I dont think christopher is contradictory to Islam as Isa (P.B.U.H.) was a prophet,just not the final messenger to mankind.I had my doubts about christianity at a young age as far as the theory of trinity it just didnt make sense to me,First Why would Allah need a son?Secondly If Allah wanted a son why would Allah let him be crucified,And Isa (P.B.U.H.) even wasm related to have said to worship only Allah.Also being a student of history and learning of the council of Nicea ,The dead sea scrolls and other different things I knew something didnt make sense ya know?And then I heard the most beautifull thing the recitation and the adhan in arabic as it was intended,It still brings tears to my eyes,My heart feels as if it is about to burst,and there is a feeling of such happiness and peace.What is the meaning of Yaseen?I was thinking Ali,or Hamza

Brother I do like the name Hamza.

Hamza Ibn ‘Abdul-Muttalib.

(In Arabic: حمزة إبن عبد المطلب) [b.568-d.625] was the paternal uncle of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and his foster-brother. He and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) were raised together as they were almost the same age. With excellence in the arts of wrestling and swordsmanship. Hadrat Hamza used his talents and experience to its best in the cause of Islam and earned the title of "Chief of the Martyrs" from Muhammad. Hamza was very fond of wrestling and hunting. He took great interest in swordsmanship and archery.

I have never practiced Swordfighting:D. I do have some experience in hunting and the military sciences.Coming from a rural area with a paternal grandfather who was fullblooded cherokee indian i learned to hunt at an early age it's just a way of life for my family.Not much as far as fighting goes I know how to but I really do not enjoy it I would much rather be a talented healer.As i stated i would like to get to know some longtime muslim brothers and sisters with helping with the name.I think my name should reflect who i am.^o)

unless your name means something bad, you do not have to change your name when you revert. But you are allowed to, of course.

Shaaf means one who gives health or Shafin he who cures. Two names you could consider.
 
assalamu alaikum,

It is sunnah to change your name if it contains anything haram
Its also encouraged to choose the best of names because the best of names we have in this life will be what we are called by in paradise INSHALLAH!

Allah swt knows best
