what we did
We adopted our son at the age of three. he has been with us since he was 17 months old. He is now four. We left his first name alone, changed the middle name completely and added our last name. This is a child however who did not even know his first name when he came to us because no one ever talked to him. His birth mom never had custody of him. His birth dad thought he was a junior and called him that even though that wasn't even his name.
I don't see anything wrong with adding or changing a middle name. But a first name is something they learn early on. I would leave first names alone.
Just my two cents
