Why do gentiles who are in Messianic Jewish groups change their names to Jewish names. Like Boaz Michael from First Fruits of Zion?

Because they want to. Unlike some other jewish groups, taking a hebrew name is optional on baptism.
Think of it like the Catholic tradition of taking a patron saint name as a middle name upon confirmation.

Anti- or Counter-Missionaries are staunchly-Non-Messianic and ardently-intolerant Jews who believe that any Jew who believes in the New Testament (called the Brit Hadashah by Messianic Jews) has become a gentile or was never Jewish enough to be Jewish in the first place. Anti- or Counter-Missionaries zealously believe Christianity (including Messianic Judaism) to be kofer(apostate), and will even lie about Messianic Jews and Messianic Jewish organizations to push the Anti-Missionary cause and proselytize Judaism.Anti- and Counter-Missionary lies include but are not limited to:Jews for Jesus is a spinoff of the Southern Baptist Convention (whereas in reality, Jews for Jesus is a fully-independent, 501(c)3 Messianic Jewish organization founded by Martin "Moishe" Rosen, who happened to denominationally be a Southern Baptist at least at one point in his life. Moishe Rosen was also raised an Orthodox Jew in Denver, Colorado).Congregation Yeshuat Yisrael in Franklin, Tennessee is a spinoff of the same (whereas it is actually also independent and just Messianic Jewish by denomination).Messianic Jews are like Hitler, trying to wipe out the Jewish population.Messianic Jews are like the Crusaders, Pogromists, and Inquisitors.Once a Jew believes in the historical and Biblical Jesus of Nazareth, he or she is no longer a Jew.Most "Messianic Jews" are or were never even Jews (which takes and twists the fact that some number of self-identifying "Messianic Jews" are indeed gentiles who falsely-- whether unintentionally or maliciously-- label themselves as Messianic Jews once they become denominationally Messianically Jewish or part of the spinoff "Hebrew Roots" movement).Anti- and Counter-Missionary organizations include Jews for Judaism and JewFAQ. Anti- and Counter-Missionary individuals include Traci Rich (JewFAQ), Skylar Curtis, and answer.com's own Divorah.Non-Anti-Missionary and tolerant Non-Messianic Jews include Michael Medved and Dennis Prager.
