This is a great misconception, there is no requirement of changing name when converting to Islam. Rather people do it of their own volition so signify and strengthen their new Islamic Identity.

If his name has a bad meaning then he has to change his name, If not then it is better to change to an Islamic name ( preferably one of the Sahaba or Ambiya)

NO they dont! But he or she is an idiot! Why would they follow a man (Muhammed) who love raping babies? He married Ayesha when she was 6 yr old and then consumated the marriage when she was 9. This is child abuse.

I wouldn't change the name my parents gave me. I will be honored to keep it til death. Why do religions have such stupid rules. I bet Ratzinger was glad to change his name. Don't want a big rat head over a billion people eh?
