After getting a reported $1.7-million check for pics of him and the kid, Larry Birkhead tells Ok! magazine he has officially changed baby Dannielynn’s name. “‘Birkhead’ has been swapped for ‘Stern,’ but I don’t want to change anything else,” he says. “(Dannielynn is) what her mother named her and even though I didn’t get a say, I still want to respect her mother’s wishes.” We’d have thought he’d rename her 'Payday.' Birkhead also praises rival Howard K. Stern for helping out since handing over the kid. “It seems unlikely but he’s been a great help,” Larry says. We smell sitcom!
