The reason that the original famous bearer of this name is known by a Sumerian name rather than an Akkadian one is because her father Sargon of Akkad appointed her the priestess of the god Nanna in the city of Ur after he conquered it, and Ur was a Sumerian-speaking city. Enheduanna seems to have lived in Ur for the rest of her life. So I am not really sure it's correct to say the "usage" of this name is Akkadian, since we know it from records from Ur, a Sumerian speaking city, and don't know if it was used as her name back in the Akkadian speaking areas of her father's empire. The hymns which she wrote which give her the distinction of being the world's first poet or author whose name is known were written in Sumerian, not Akkadian. [noted -ed]
