If your father changed your name legally, you would likely have to change it back legally in order to use it. The situation of trying to use your birth name is complicated, especially if all your other documents are in your changed name. For example, if you entered the US with a passport in your changed name, USCIS will likely have a difficult time accepting your birth name even if accompanied by your birth paper.
