The court upheld the lower court's decision denying the petitioner's request to change the child's name. The petitioner argued that the child's name should reflect the biological father, while the opposing party emphasized the need for parental consent and the child's best interests. The court ruled that without the consent of both parents, the name change could not be granted, prioritizing the stability of the child's identity.
