Is there an explanation as to the discrepancy in the name? Can you or they obtain one? If not, perhaps it can be done through an affidavit.

You can contact the offices that issued the documents to correct or amend the information and issue new certificates before submitting your petition. Otherwise, you will need to convince USCIS that it is the same person even though the names are not an exact match. USCIS may even request that you and your father submit to a DNA test to confirm the relationship.
