Muslim names

[Ramlösa]

Salam Aleikum,

I converted to Islam last name, and have been considering choosing a muslim name in order to express my belief in Islam. At the moment I have a xtian name from a "martyr" who has become a symbol for gays, hence my wish to choose a muslim name. I would like to have suggestions for names that could fit into Europe and is not too arab (not names like Ali or Muhammad). Mostly because I dont want to distance myself from my parents.

Be well brothers and sisters,
Sebastian

I personally like the names of the Prophets and you can choose from any of the OT Prophets' names like,

Jacob (Yaqoob), Joseph (Yusuf), David (Dawood) and many many more

Take care !

If I were a man it would be an honor to be named after our great prophet (PBUH). But personally I like the name Zachariyah
