You can change your first name but it is not obligatory unless it holds haram meaning. You must not be called after anyone except your father’s name and your family name.

Sometimes when we go so reception or office we have to talk to the opposite gender. That time I try maximum to avoid gaze but some point while asking question or answering back i may look again. Is it sinful? Please guide me exactly how should I manage it in right way?
