In Oklahoma the name change is a seperate motion and is not required for the adoption. It is not necessary to change her name and, in all honesty, if she doesn't want it changed I see no reason to do it.
Check you paperwork and see but I'm assuming the adoption part is complete...or did he put that off until he hears the motion on the name change? If the adoption motion has been finalized, I would just withdraw the motion for name change...or show up that day and tell him she is not interested in the name change.
ETA: from what I've observed...In Oklahoma, the judges tend to start asking the child's opinion when they reach the age of 10. That's not to say they get final say, but they do ask them.
