Of course, there's always the suggestion that the rest of you change names to match older Daughter's.
I like that idea.

We talked to a lawyer and they recommend us having one to complete the name change because of my issues with my ex, but it is very costly and I'm just wondering if it would be possible to do it ourselves and what the process would be.
Unless a court has stripped him of his parental rights you will need you ex's consent or you will have to convince a judge that it is the best interest of the child. That's the tough part but you don't need a lawyer to do it.

Google Mississippi Name Change for a Minor and you'll come up with guides, forms and instructions.

If you don't succeed your daughter is not too young to learn that life can sometimes be unkind and one doesn't always get what one wants.
