Well it really depends on where you live - laws are different in different countries, i think as long as you have permission from your parents you can probably be of any age, within reason, of course. If not 16 sounds about right. It also comes with a price, not a lot - maybe like £150? Good luck! :-)
If the change is done by your guardian or parent, any age. If you do it yourself, you must have reached the 'age of majority' in your state. Simply telephone the local courthouse, and ask a clerk about the process and requirements.
18.
Just go up to your local courthouse to make sure though because I think it varies from state.
More info though:
"This message will explain how you can change legally change your name, if you are an adult, a minor over the age of 14, or if you want to change your family's last name. If you want to change the name of a minor who is under the age of 14, choose that menu item. If you want to change your name and you are an adult or a minor who is 14 years of age or older, or you want to change your family's last name, you can petition for a change of name in the family division of the circuit court in the county where you live. You must have lived in the county for at least one year prior to filing the petition. The petition must give the reason for the name change and assure the court that you are not seeking a name change with any dishonest intent. There is a filing fee. A notice of the hearing to change the name must be published to allow creditors, individuals with the same name, and others the opportunity to object. You must obtain a criminal history check from the Michigan State Police and from the Federal Burear of Investigation based upon your fingerprints. There is a charge which must be paid to the police agency for this. Results of the criminal history check will be sent to the court. A criminal record is presumed a fraudulent intent. Persons under age 22 do not have to be fingerprinted or have a criminal history check. A petition, filed by a minor who is 14 years of age or older, must be signed by both parents, one parent if the other parent is missing or dead, or a legal guardian. If the court grants the name change, you will be charged $10 to receive a certified copy of the court order." -http://courts.co.calhoun.mi.us/ctinf053.htm

In most countries THE original birth certificate is a legal document of record and once the birth is registered it can not be modified. It may be possible to change the name by which you daughter will be known legally (by Deed Pole) but the registration of birth can not be altered retrospectively.
Since it is the name on your birth certificate (most likely) you do not need to legally change anything. You just need to contact any business or utility that has your last name as your married name and make them aware of the change if you would not like to get mail or other documents with the old name. I live in MD (maybe the laws are different here) and I changed back to my maiden name (which is on my birth certificate) after being divorced for 20 years. Since I didn't choose to change back when I got the divorce, I had to file a petition for change of name with the county court. It took 3 months and cost about $125.00. Then I was able to change my name on my driver's license, social security card and bank account, etc.

Ford, and although he was never legally adopted, Ford had his name legally changed when he was 22-years-old. Bill Clinton had his last name changed from Blythe when his mother married Roger Clinton. His father died before he was born so he had no special reason to be happy or unhappy about the name change. However,.he went by Blythe until he was a teen-ager. so he must have preferred Clinton.
