Changing my name back to my Bio name.

Hi there, so for context, I have a tricky relationship with my AP’s, my adoptive mother and her partner are massively narcissistic, and my adoptive father and his wife only care about themselves and her children and grandchildren so me and my full bio sister ( we were adopted together) have been pushed out. My sister is literally my everything, im the eldest and unfortunately I have be perentified which I don’t mind. But would it be disrespectful to change my name back to my name that I had prior to being adopted (middle name and surname)? The only problem is my sister would be upset I think, she has no desire to learn about our bio family, where I have a good relationship with my bio family under the radar. So k don’t want to hurt her feelings but I also feel like I’ve got no sense of identity as I was lied to and my adoption/life before adoption was never talked about. I’m going no contact with my AP’s soon. My partner has brought up that once we get engaged that I just take his name but the problem is I want to change my name soon. I’m also worried what his family would think. I don’t know I guess I’m looking for guidance on what you would do if this was you.
