Congrats! Can't wait to see pictures!
Some do; some don't. It depends on the type of bird, the age, the associations with the former home, and whether or not s/he identifies strongly with the name. Large parrots sometimes do identify strongly with a name, much like a small child would.I read that rehomed birds do better if they ARE renamed so I hope that helps you in your decision.
