Ok, I have a question - will daddy still be part of her life? Or, when he moved out, did he walk out of all your lives forever? You don't have to answer here if you don't want to, but I think it will be an important to consider when making your decision.

If he will still be actively involved as her dad, than he still deserves to have a say in her name. He may not be your partner anymore, but he will still be her dad.

If he walked out completely, and won't be involved in their lives, then he has forfeited the right to have his daughter carry his name, IMO. No child should have to go through life with the name of the man who couldn't be bothered to be her dad.
