I wanted to do this with my baby as her dad is the biggest a*sehole on this planet,
He wanted me to terminate her pregnancy, despite being married left me 2 weeks after her birth by C-Section and was knocking me and my daughters around,
He once chased his boss with a machete,
He had to have contact at a center which was supervised,
He only showed up once and that was 2 days before xmas, he got her nothing,

However, At least I can say to her when she's older that I tried,
I'd love to cut all ties, including her surname,

I think legally you can have his rights taken away and that includes surname,
But what is going to make him look bad ???
