I could have asked Amma for a new name at some point, and I do know some devotees who have received more than one spiritual or Sanskrit name from each of their teachers/gurus. but I decided to stick with Keval, to remember what got me started on this path and to keep the connection with Swami Kripalvanand and Kripalu yoga (the traditional style, as would have been taught by YAD, not what passes for for Kripalu at Lenox 01240 now). and oh yeah, don't use Re: Digest Number 1875 for this thread!!
