That would depend upon whether you met the standards in OK.
According to this site: [url]http://family.findlaw.com/marriage/living-together/common-law-states(1).html[/url]

The standards are this:
Oklahoma. The parties must be competent, agree to enter into a marriage relationship, and cohabitate in order to be considered as having a common law marriage.

You would file with the court for a name change, and would need Dad's consent to change your child's name. I would imagine you would file with the court to change your name.
