    Greetings Dr.

    May I ask you, is it necessary to change your name once you accept islam? Myself - indian hindu female was been named as 'PUJA' by my parents.
    'PUJA' means prayer - somewhere I do not agree that it means praying to idolism only. Kindly advise. If it has to be changed then what could be my new name?
    Thnak you.
