Birth name for adopted baby vs. New name for adopted baby vs. Opinions really needed.

My partner and I are in the process of adopting a child. We haven’t had a confirmed baby/child yet, but we were discussing last night what we would do about naming the child if it already had a name when it came to us. We are both torn on if we get a young baby whether to change his or her name to something of our choosing or keep the birth name? Obviously if we get an older child about 1+ we wouldn’t change their name, but what are your opinions on younger babies? Is it right to change their name or should we keep their birth name? Please vote and comment your opinions too, we would really appreciate the opinions and suggestions to help us decide. Thank you in advance!

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.
