Change names vs. Keep names

We’re currently - finally - in the process of adopting our children. What we could do, alongside adoption, is change their names. They are called Cash Pryce (8), Chanel Cartier nn CeCe(4) and Carrion Way nn Carrie (1). We’re not sure whether we should change them, especially Cash’s, since he goes by that and he uses it at school. Besides life this is what their birth mother gave them. We’re afraid changing their names would hurt them, later in life. On the other hand, we’re afraid their names might hurt them in their later life, because they’re so unprofessional. Then what If we change his sisters’ names and he’s the odd one out. We don’t really know what to call Chanel IF we were to give her a full name. With our older son we kept his name, we changed his first to his middle name though, so his name is Joseph Reign. But he went by Joseph always, so that was easier... Basically just a lot of problems. Any advice on the topic is absolutely welcome! Any suggestions for alternate names, too. Thank you! Stella & Thomas

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.
