I have been thinking about changing my name for years, but as you mentioned, I have been concerned how my mother might feel. The second thing is I want a different name, but how to choose one poses a huge problem. I don't know where I come from in Africa, so I am not going to randomly choose a language and then a name from the vast number of cultures. When people hear my full name, they most certainly think of a rich white man, specifically because I have a first, middle, last name, and a suffix (Sr., Jr., III, IV, etc.).

Anyhow, I don't know much about you Kunjufu, so perhaps you didn't have the same concerns I am dealing with now.
