Its better to share reference while quoting hadith or Quran to understand the context.
Did you name yourself?
Btw there is no issue. you just need to preserve your family tree -
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever calls himself by other than his fathers name (or attributes himself to someone other than his father), will be cursed by Allaah, the angels and all the people.” (Reported by Ibn Maajah, 2599; see also Saheeh al-Jaami, 6104).
Call them (adopted sons) by the names of their fathers” [al-Ahzaab 33:5].

In context to above mentioned verses is there need for me to attach my father’s name in my name?
In my id my father’s name is mentioned,I proclaim my father as mine and everyone knows also,so is there still a need or fard for me to add my father’s name?
I was given this name by my parents “Umair Ahmed”,this is my complete name while my father’s complete name is Sanaullah Sandhu

The hadeeth and ayah you refered is actually about protecting lineage. It has nothing to do with the name not containing father name.
Refer to this thread for understanding hadeeth literature
