Help[Facts] NAME & SURNAME CHANGE
Dear members,
I really name help with naming and change.
I recently converted and want to change my names. I took a vow of a nazarite and I want to named based on who I am now.
I read about the name " LAEL" which means "belonging to God" and also read the name "Nazir" which means "Separated for God"
My question is can I use the two at the same time as a First name and a last name?
My desire is that my name name reflects who I am now. Will appreciate guidance and a naming expert.

I looked up both names and Nazir is a surname. However, Lael is Hebrew. Are you Jewish? If you're not it could be offensive to use the name. Nazir is Arabic. I just question using a Hebrew and Arabic name together.

Thanks for your response.
No I am not Jewish. In addition, Jewish names are used all over the world in many countries and examples are "Abraham, Jacob, Isreal, Gabriel, Michael, Eli and so many other Jewish names. So I don't consider Lael as offensive since it has a meaning to the name.
Secondly, the name Nazir is actually Hebrew and it seems to also be used by the Arabs. Theirs is spelt Nasir and I believe Jewish is Nazir which was derived from Nazarines or Nazareth from the tribe of Levi for those who were consecrated. So I advice you do more findings as Nazir is part of the names of the old names. Do get back on your findings as well.
