Letting young kids pick new names for themselves is a nice idea on paper, but I think it's risky in practice; kids change their minds very easily, and they don't/can't think very far ahead.
I think Skylar should definitely have been prevented from using Isabella, at the very least prevented from using it for a fn. (I would have changed Bella's name myself when she was too little to notice; Bella is a name for a dog or a cat.)

Luke is all right, and I really like Anthony. Zay is just a sound to me.

I do know a pair of biological brothers in their thirties who were adopted by their foster parents when they were about six and eight or thereabouts. They were give the option of new first and/or middle names as well. One preferred to keep his name, and the other asked to become Tom Jr, after his adoptive father. He was already called by his initials, TJ, so the initials and nn stayed the same.
