While it's not obligatory to change a non-inappropriate name ([Changing my name upon conversion](https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/32544/17163)), it can still be desirable for the purposes of fitting in.

**Question**: How should a convert go about choosing a Muslim-appropriate name?

In my case, [Rebecca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca) appears in the Hebrew Bible, and being a Muslim named Rebecca seems to puzzle both Muslims and Jews, so I'm considering adopting a new name (even if just informally). I have some ideas, e.g., I like "[Jannah](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jannah)" (جنّة) or maybe "Becca" which is short for "Rebecca" anyway ([Are Mecca and Becca the same places?](https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/21465/17163)), but I have no idea if these names are any good.

Since the Prophet chose some of his wives' names, a possible option is to wait until I get married and let my husband choose mine.
