Taking on a Hebrew name?
#4
On the contrary, a Noahide SHOULD study the simple meaning of the entire 24 Books of the Hebrew Bible, for the purpose of taking to heart very practical spiritual and moral lessons for his/her Divine service.

For example, there are spiritual lessons about: awe of G-d, love of G-d, fear of G-d, accepting the Unity and the Kingship of G-d, belief in Divine miracles, belief in a Divinely created universe, belief in Divine Providence, belief in Divine reward and punishment, belief in prophecy and specifically in the Hebrew prophets, belief in the righteousness of tzaddikim, belief in the coming of the Messiah, respect for the Jewish people, respect for the Land of Israel, etc.

Likewise, there are moral lessons about honesty, humility, charity, forgiveness, repentance, patience, respect for others, respect for parents, Torah-based education, rightousness in judgment, giving benefit of the doubt, honest business dealings, avoiding gossip and slander, dedication, work ethic, responsibility, suppressing lustful desires, etc.

And if you happen to be inspired by a particular person in the Hebrew Bible, there is no prohibition against changing your name to the name of that person, in order to give yourself inspiration and motivation. And you can choose Biblical names for your children.
