Just to clarify...
Are you querying the baby's surname? Or the surname that the mother gave?
Please don't worry, unless for fraudulent purposes, using another name is not illegal in England & Wales.

A person can change their name at any time without formality. They can also change it back. So long as she didn't do it in order to deceive she hasn't broken any laws.This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !0
