Changing childs name officially after separation with a father who was in & out for the first year of my daughters life and has now ceased all contact (other than agreeing to sign name change when it arrives).
I am dropping his surname but not only that, he talked me in to naming my daughter with a name I wasnt so sure on, so since I am now going to drop his surname its probably the best opportunity to give her the first name I originally wanted aswell, but she is now 1 and family think its not right to do it now. I dont think its too late at aged 1
Thoughts......?
