Birth Certificate for Anna Nicole's Baby

TMZ has obtained a copy of the birth certificate for Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's newborn baby daughter.
Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern's birth certificate
The certificate confirms that Anna Nicole may have left the U.S. permanently for bluer waters, listing the Bahamas as her permanent residence.

More significantly, the document lists her lawyer, Howard K. Stern as the father. Stern, who appeared on "Larry King Live" and proclaimed that he was the father, is in a war of words with Larry Birkhead, Anna Nicole's former boyfriend who claims he's the daddy. Birkhead has filed legal papers in Los Angeles, asking a judge to order a paternity test.

Interestingly, Anna Nicole chose to give the baby Stern's last name and the name Marshall as her middle name after Anna's late husband, billionaire J. Howard Marshall.

2. Maybe she had a child die before Daniel...I've never heard of her having other children? Good eye #1.

3. It states that the mother had 2 live births (including this one) and 1 living at date of this birth (doesn't state including this one). Doesn't state anything about one being deceased.

4. Take the tests already and be done with it!!!! This is getting to be like a really bad soap opera.

6. The certificate says the date of the birth, but not the date that the birth certificate was issued. Remember when Suri's birth certificate was dated it was a month AFTER the actual birth occured. Anna's son was dead when that birth certificate was issed. This is such a sad senario. Anna and Howard know the dirty little secret of the catalyst that caused Daniel's death. They both are indirectly responsible and that's a burdon they will have to bear for the rest of their lives. Even Anna's Mother thnks Howard played a part in her grandson's death.

Anna had to put somebody's name on that birth certificate and she did not want ot put the real father's name : Larry Birkhead. He wants her off drugs and wants to be a part of his baby's life. He wants her to be well, and a fit parent .

Anna needs and wants her drugs. She isn't compromising her life style for her baby or the father. Howard on the other hand, does encourage Anna's drug use. He engages in it with her. THey are both a couple of degenerates. Look at the extreme lenghts they resorted to , to get away from the U.S.and hide their indiscretions. She is not being forth right or truthful and it is very obvious by her actions she has something hide. I hope that the judge rules for a mandatory paternity test and it finds that Birkhead is indeed the father. Danilynn doesn't stand a chance for normalcy with those 2 as parents. It's a shame they can't be touched over there in that DRUG COMPOUND they are holed up in. Sooner or later they will have to come out. She craves the money and the limelight too much, to stay hidden away forever. I hope someone saves that little girl.

7. The Middle name is Hope Marshall, as in, hoping to get Marshall's money.

8. "Marshall" is NOT her middle name. It is her other last name, after her late husband. I think that is really sweet of Anna Nicole to do that.

Anna Nicole has really been through a lot of tragic crap and I really feel for her. I wish her, little Danilynn, and Howard all the best in the world. And of course, may Daniel be at peace.

9. The baby's middle name isn't "Marshall." Anna Nicole's legal name is Vickie Lynn Marshall or perhaps Vickie Lynn Hogan Marshall. She still has her married name, so the child's name is hyphentated (sans hyphen) with her legal last name and Howard's last name. It just happens that her "stage name" is Anna Nicole Smith, and it bears her ex-husband's last name. Not all celebrities legally change their name to their stage names (like Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie).

Also, the birth certificate is stating how many live births Anna Nicole has had. That is all.

10. Just a clarification....the certificate says how many children were born alive to this mother including this one. That is why she answered "2." Then it asks how many children living at date of this birth. She answered "1." She technically should have answered 2 because her son was still alive at the time of the daughter's birth. Seems that she was saying that only this child was still alive at the time of the completion of the birth certificate.

11. I actually think it is pretty much, "inappropriate" for her to give that child the Marshall family name, whether it be a middle or "hyphen" last name.

12. I agree

13. The certificate brought THIS to mind. It would NOT surprise me one bit, after viewing the provocative pictures of Anna NS and her son, that Danny is the father. Just think about it. I think this is why the DNA won't be allowed. I also think the pressure of knowing about this was just to much for Danny....thus his death. Otherwise I can't understand why there is a big argument over the DNA testing. You won't see a picture of Anna and Danny where they aren't touching each other, especially her...she's always laying all over him. Don't phoo phoo this until you think about it. Look at the pictures....it will all come to light soon....I hope

14. Jeez, all the legal last names...all the lawsuits...and poor Daniel hasn't even been put to rest yet!!! When and IF Anna sobers up, when & where is she going to put that pool boy's body to rest???

15. WTF!!!
What's the purpose of getting the birth certificate.
It doesn't prove anything.
Most people have moved on from this crap, TMZ should to.
