WDYT?

When my SO's sister Shauna died my SO decided to adopt her daughter Elle (pronounced Ellie). So now we are the pround parents of Ashton Thomas Rhys Abbott and Elle Abigail Abbott. Elle is 2 in November so it isn't really an option to change her whole name but I wondered what you think about changing her middle/ giving her another middle name (as it is really important to my SO that his children have two middles)? We've also considered changing the spelling from Elle to Ellie to make things a little easier for her later (considering she doesn't know how to write her name yet) and it wouldn't affect her yet. WDTY? Should we leave her name as it is? If not, any ideas of what we could change her name to? I was thinking of Ellie Shauna Abigail, but i'm not sure.


EDIT: We've decided to definately leave her the spelling as Elle. We've also decided to keep Abigail as a nickname.  Although we are a little confused as to wether or not we should add her mothers name as a nickname to honour her mother as Shauna died before Elle had the chance to really get to know her mother and has no real connection to her mother and we think it may be a nice tribute. On the other hand, we're unsure as to wether or not we should just leave the name how Shauna left it. Your thoughts really are appreciated.
