    Regarding the name change for new Muslims, according to the tradition of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) it is not required Islamically, except in the following two cases:

    If the name implies a form of disbelief, like `Abd-ush-Shams (the slave of the sun) or Saint Clare, etc. I would suggest that people keep the part of their names that do not contradict with their Muslim belief. For example, `Abd-ush-Shams should be changed into Shams, and Saint Clare should be changed into Clare, etc.

    If the name implies a form of aggression or is a shameful name (according to one’s culture). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked a few companions to change their names, such as Harb (which means “war”) and Sa`b (which means “difficult”), etc.

    Some new Muslims, however, consider the matter of changing their name a mark in their lives between one stage (before Islam) and another (after Islam). This is something that is totally according to the individual.

    so u can keep ur name if its meaning isn't against islam teachings,u can call urself muhammed or one of the companions name for example, though it is ur choice.

    and here a site have some Arabic names:

    Most Enlightened spiritual people who draw inspiration from other faiths, simply do it on the quite. Converts,reverts or perverts to Islam announce it from roof tops and make a huge show of it.

    try something cool like Zulqarnain, Khizr, Iskandar,Qalb,Fakir or Zulfiqar. but like Ailia 72 said, keep the Husain since that is a great and noble name
