Picking her name? vs. Yes vs. No?

We have two biological children, Hannah(16) and Austin(15). After the birth of our first two, adoption spoke to us and we felt compelled to expand our family that way. God blessed us with our second son Noah(10) from Guatemala when he was 6 m/o. Within a year and a half we adopted two sisters from Ukraine, Ashley(13) and Mackenzie(12), who were a bit older upon adoption but still not old enough to speak full sentences. We feel so lucky to be able to welcome one more daughter into our home (from Ethiopia) after YEARS of planning shortly before Xmas. She is 9 years old and is called Abrihet, which means light. We would like to keep Abrihet as her middle name but want her to have a more Americanized first name. Since she is so much older than our other children and only knows Abrihet as her name, should we allow her to pick a name (with help) that she feels more comfortable with? Or should we pick one for her? We picked Ellie which also means light. WDYT?

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
