Charlett L. LONING, Appellant, v. Thomas LONING, Appellee.
    No. 84-1324.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Feb. 6, 1985.
    Rehearing Denied March 18, 1985.
    Andrew M. Chansen of Chansen & Chan-sen, Boca Raton, for appellant.
    Frederic D. Kaufman, Law Offices of Kaufman & Houchins, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

We affirm all of the provisions of the final judgment except that provision denying appellant’s request to change her legal name, and we remand the case to the trial court for purposes of granting the request for name change.

ANSTEAD, C.J., and DOWNEY, J., concur.

HURLEY, J., concurs in part and dissents in part with opinion.

HURLEY, Judge,

concurring in part and dissenting in part.

The testimony is undisputed that the wife, through her mother, contributed $25,-000 to the purchase of the second marital residence. Thus, I would hold that the trial court erred by failing to award the wife a special equity.
