Often, when people convert to Islam, they change their name to reflect this. If Muslims in the was convert to something else, do they change their names to end the usual stigma?

If Muslims... convert to something else, do they change their names...

They need not only to change name but the whole identity and to go someplace far away... because "to convert to something" from Islam is called apostasy and is capital offence. The convertor becomes fair game for any real moozy, who not only is can, but must kill him.
