We adopted our daughter as an older child. she came with her name. However, her middle name had very negative connotations and didn't fit a sweet little 3 yr old...she also didn't really know her middle name. So we asked her if she'd like to pick out a new middle name, she said yes and we ended up agreeing on one that is a tradtion in my family. It also happens to be my middle name, so she is very proud to share mommie's middle name.
If I had hated her first name, we might have made it her middle name...but we really liked it.
To this day, I'm not sure if the bmom ever even knew of the change. I don't know if she would care, to tell you the truth.
