Question

Fans discuss whether Newman has a first name, with consensus that the show hasn't revealed one and his business card simply reads "Newman."

Apparently, either Newman doesn't have a first name or the shows writers are simply witholding it from us. It has not been stated thus far. Remember the show where he gives someone his business card ... and it says: "Newman" Funny stuff.

I don't understand...his first name is of course NORMAN.

The pretty young blonde farmer's daughter called after Newman when he was retreating from the farm (the Bottle Deposit/Kennedy's Golf Clubs episode), screaming...."Norman, I love you", or words to that effect.

Are we not to believe his first name is not Norman?????

I think it was a joke- she was mis-speaking his name.

Could be that the farmer's daughter who called out "Norman!"

a. knew Newman's first name b. got his name wrong c. was given a false name by the slippery Newman.

Any of the above. Mark L.

I have an idea...

They should make an episode wherein we meet Newman's mother ... and find out that his first name is, of course... COSMO!!!!!!!!!!!

I think she was confusing his second name with his first name. After all, she was a blonde.

No, no, no. The girl got his name mixed up and called him Norman by mistake. But to re-quote an earlier post:

"Newman's first name is obviously 'hello.'" :-)

Newman doesn't have a first/last name. He's like Prince or Cher.

We once saw his business card which simply says "Newman."

I didn't understand how you spelled Newman's first name, was it BRUNO or Nahweiog Arwhelji, or is it both. You think you know everyhting about Seinfeld and someone throws in something like that.

In the show about George's photomat pictures, Newman's business card just says "Newman." Wouldn't it have been funnier to have his full name on there with someone's thumb over the first name?

Remember they didn't come out with Kramer's first name for along time? I think they are doing the same thing with Newman. I'm sure his first name will come out soon, since this is the last season.

I'm watching Jurassic Park on NBC. I hadn't realized that Newman was the villain that caused all the trouble. No wonder Jerry hates him. Bill

Yes, and what I was really shocked at - thought it was very funny, was that Wayne Knight played *Numa* in JFK and was the person that Kevin Costner used to stage Garrison's magic bullet theory just as Seinfeld parodied it with Wayne with the magic luggie. Nice connection!

Here are his other credits (can't imagine what he did in Dirty Dancing - will have to watch that again) :-)
