Fasting Rajab
It has become a widespread tradition in many Muslim societies to fast the month of Rajab. According to many high ranking scholars, even though the month of Rajab is one of the 4 sacred months, it was not associated with any special worship or fasting its entirety - either from the Sunnah of the prophet or his successors. In fact, the prophet himself, as reported, fasted more in Shaban than Rajab.
Changing the revert's name
Apparently, people have done all of that. However, the latter may raise some concerns of having to change documents etc. One of Islam's key principles is facilitation and ease, not complication and hardship. Thus the answer scholars usually gave to such question is that a revert need not change his/her name unless it represents something that's contrary in meaning to islamic principles and creed. Such as a name that associates others with Allah, or a negative, insulting kind of name that the prophet has advised against.

Assigning inheritance before dying
Some Muslims assign inheritance to some of their heirs prior to dying, for the purpose of depriving other lawful heirs from their inheritance rights. Most scholars agree that this is unlawful. References in the Quran include verses 4:11 - 14, and 4:176
