I was thinking I could put two names together to be referred to as "Rivka Esther" instead of just "Rivka". I just like the sound of both those names put together. And I know that I could probably just ask my rabbi about this, but I thought I'd also ask strangers over the internet for fun too.
If you are studying with someone you identify as “my rabbi” I would expect that you would make use of the resource. That said, there is nothing prohibiting you from choosing two Hebrew names, a first and a middle, if and when you choose to convert.
Oh, before you ask, yes I am a rabbi.
