Can We vs. Call Her vs. Something Else?

We are officially adopting a little 13 month old girl in about a month. She was placed in an orphanage because she has down syndrome and when we heard her story we knew she had to be a part of our lives and soon she will be a permanent part and we are so excited! We aren’t particularly fond of her name though, it’s Karsyn. Would it be okay if we called her something else like a totally different name? We have 3 sons already so we want her to have a feminine name not a boy-ish one. We don’t really like her middle name, Novalee, either so we don’t want to call her by it. We aren’t actually changing it and getting rid of Karsyn ccompletely since she is already recognizing by it but just call her by a new name and later she will still have Karsyn and the new name to choose between to go by but basically we would just be giving her a nickname just one that is drastically different from her real name. What do you think? Would it be okay? ~Ashley

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.
