I don't think it should matter if the birthfamily or hospital staff named your child. Either way it is the name that is part of their history. It is a personal choice to keep it or change it.
We adopted two Korean toddlers and changed their first names and moved their given names to the middle. Our newly adopted 8 yo from Russia wanted to keep her given name and we gave her a new middle name.
She introduces herself as Nastia and also does not like the "disney" version of Anastasia but will answer to it.
