NEW YORK -- Jerry Seinfeld and his wife, Jessica, have a new addition to the family. A son, Shepherd Kellen Seinfeld, was born Monday morning, Seinfeld's publicist, Stephen Rubenstein, said Thursday. The couple, who were married in 1999, have a 2-year-old son, Julian, and a 4-year-old daughter, Sascha.

"Jerry and Jessica are both thrilled," said Rubenstein. "The baby is great; they are all home now."

The 51-year-old comedian has in the past worked babies into his standup routine: "Make no mistake about why these babies are here _ they are here to replace us."

"Shepherd"? I foresee seven periods in a day, seven beatings a day, and eventually seven years to life.

Seriously, congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Seinfeld!

Let's hope the little bugger never messes with daddy's tape deck.

"You have to see the baby"

Now I would have called him Seven, or perhaps Isosceles. Failing that Soda is always an option.

That would make the bris on Aug 29 (tomorrow). Has Julia Louis-Dreyfus contacted a mohel? Have Jerry and Jessica appointed godparents? Is Jerry going to keep his fingers away from the mohel? Is Michael Richards going to abscond with the baby to prevent genital mutilation? Is Jason Alexander going to pass out? Is Julia going to ask, "Some ugly baby, huh"? Is Jessica going to tell Jerry's Long Island friends, "You gotta see the baby!"? Is the pediatrician going to refer to the baby as "breathtaking"? Are people going to confuse "Sascha" with "Seltzer" or "Salsa"? Once you name a kid "Shepherd", you pretty much mapped out his future, wouldn't you say? You don't see "Shepherd the Pope" or "Shepherd the hitman".
