    I am resending the answer that was sent out on the 8th of January.

    While empathizing with your feelings and understanding why you would want to change your surname, there is no Halachic necessity to do so. It remains a personal decision. If you decide that want to change your name, you may do so without being concerned that there might be a problem of not honoring your father.
