I don't think the main name of the person (female) changes. The only changes I found so far is in the religious name (usually the second name added to the main name). For example, Maria das Dores turning into Maria da Assunção. I don't know why they would change it, but since it usually didn't even appear in the baptism record (only Maria), maybe there's (option 1:) no real meaning/importance given to the name - the worst religious names I've seen so far are the ones given to expostos without a previous name -, or (option 2:) there was a more complex importance we still haven't figured out. I will check the "Descubra as suas origens" manual when I get home to see if the authors refer anything about this.
