Greetings and blessing's to you. You do have the option to change your first name after taking "Amrit". This is not a requirement. Some people ask for a spiritual name, particularly in the case of a person having a Western Name that is not from Gurbani or a name that has no spiritual reference.
You could ask for a name from the Punj Piare, or take the hukam from your Amrit and choose a name from the first letter of the hukam that was taken and choose. Or you could go to a Sant ji and request a name. A name is an identity and something to strive for and inspire to.
