nees next week.,

(Will and Grace) and PHIL ROSENTHAL

Actress RENA SOFER, 38, and her husband,
director SANFORD BOOKSTAVER, 32, had a
baby girl on Aug. 5 and named her AVALON
LEONE BOOKSTAVER.
Sofer, whose father is an Orthodox rabbi, mar-
ried Bookstaver in 2003 in a lovely Jewish wed-
ding that made the pages of People and InStyle
magazines. (Sofer has an 8-year-old daughter
from a previous marriage).
On Aug. 22, JERRY
SEINFELD, 51, and his
wife, JESSICA SKLAR
SEINFELD, 34, had their
third child, a son they
named SHEPHERD
KELLEN SEINFELD. The
couple, who married in an
elegant, but small Jewish
wedding in 1999, have a 2-
year-old son, JULIAN, and
a 4-year-old daughter,
SASCHA.
On Aug. 24, former
Funky Brewster star
SOLEIL MOON FRYE, 29, gave birth to a baby
girl. She and her husband, TV producer JASON
GOLDBERG, 34, named their child POET
ROSE SIENNA GOLDBERG.
Frye, who's mother is Jewish, had a big Jewish
wedding when she married Goldberg in 1998.
I know your thinking: Avalon, Poet and
Shepherd? Yeah, maybe the names are too pre-
cious. However, when these kids get older, they
could start a company called Avalon, Poet and
Shepherd — what a perfect name for a romance
book publisher or scented candle maker.
