Seinfeld/what is Newman's first name?

Question
Hello Ariela,

My brother told me that Newman's first name was revealed. He won't tell me what his first name is. He said, if I remember correctly, it's the episode about Newman in a farm and a woman was chasing him and yelled out his first name.

Also, I thought there was an episode where Jerry found out what Newman's first name is.  If I'm not mistaken, the name was a girls name.  

I'm just dying to find out what the answer is. My brother teases me about this.

Thanks,

Robert

Answer
Dear Robert,

Hi.  I hate to disappoint, and there's a chance I could be wrong, but I have absolutely no recollection of Newman's first name ever being mentioned on the show.  In the episode your brother is referring to, a woman from a farmhouse did indeed call out after a running-away Newman.  She called out "Norman," but, although I could be wrong, I understood this as a simple misunderstanding of his name on her part, not his actual first name.  I can recall no episode where Jerry discovered Newman's first name.  I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but please write again if you have any follow-up questions.

Best wishes,
yada yada yada,
Ariela Jaglom

I own all the DVDs, and have watched all of the special features and commentaries on all the episodes, most of them several times. I have whole sections of dialouge memorized as well as knowing a lot of little details. I'm good at placing a random quote, character, or scene, into its correct episode and season. I can also fill you in on all details of any minor character that ever appeared on the show or any answer any minor triva-type questions. However, I don't know much about the actor's real lives, or products seen on the show.
