There seems to be a difference in opinion in changing names. To me a name defines who we are. If you keep a muslim name, you will be known as a muslim. That's just my opinion.
Sayyadina Abu Darda RA narrated that Rasulullah SAW said: “you will be called on the day of judgment by your names and your fathers names so keep good names“.

Okay I don't want to further talk more about this subject coz it seems everytime any topic about Islam is brought up, it always turns into a debate as to who knows more about Islam. In reality, Ilm is important, but putting what we know into practice is more essential and rewarding in the eyes of Allah. By know means am I a scholar or have the authority to give commentary on hadiths or tafseer of the quran. One thing I do have the authority to do is to teach my children the beauty of Islam, so that it may be easy to be put into practice.

By your wishes I will not discuss this here but I will address this on my own blog.

Isn't there a hadith regarding that? Or is it just my illusin? Maybe.

yup! since a knowledge is not beneficial unless we put it into practice. *If only i'd memorised that hadith i learnt. Sigh*
