    First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

    But I have to ask why you think your situation was different then the other poster and why my answer wasn't enough.

    You have to petition the court for a name change and that means getting the father's permission or show a good faith effort to do so.
