Also for those who know converts what type of names did some of them choose? Did the legally change them or just have them when being called to Torah?

Very few converts do legal name changes, they just use their names for religious purposes.





I'll probably use the Hebrew version of my first name and/or the traditional Ruth.
Reply:I don't believe you have to change your name when you convert to Judaism, any more than you have to when converting to Christianity or a host of other religions.





Judaism is not synomyous with being Hebrew.





Edit: I seem to have been unclear, my apologies. I meant no requirement to make a legal change.
Reply:I don't think a lot of converts legally change their names.





And there are plenty of Jews who don't have Hebrew names anyway. I know a Jewish guy named Gary, and that definitely wasn't in the Bible.
Reply:answer: (not a convert but studying) the Hebrew name for converts are used when called to read the Torah, on the marriage contract, and on the gravestone. Most don't change their name legally
