Dear Anonymous:
SInce you do know who the father is, and, although you do not say, it may be his last name on the birth certificate for your child (?), Florida Statute 68.07 requires that you serve him with the petition for name change. If he responds and files a response in the court, then it will be up to the judge to determine whether the child's last name may be changed.
Best of luck,
