It's a girl for Desperate Housewives' James Denton

James Denton, 42, and his wife Erin O’Brien, welcomed their second child, daughter Malin O’Brien Denton early this morning at an L.A. hospital. Malin, who weighed in at 7 pounds, 5 ounces, joins big brother Sheppard, 22 months. Denton’s publicist said that although Malin was born at the hospital this morning, everyone is already resting comfortably at home!

CBB had previously guessed that the name would begin with ‘M,’ seeing as that’s the initial hanging over her crib in the nursery scan we have posted in CBB Photos.

How do you pronounce Malin?

- Alyson on March 22nd, 2005

I’m guessing it’s May-lin.

- Erica on March 22nd, 2005

Malin is pronounced Mah-lin.

Pretty name! Congrats to them.

Does anyone know the birth’s date of their first child Sheppard ?

- Christelle on March 23rd, 2005

Wasn’t Malin the name of Sally Field’s character in Stealing Magnolias? I think it’s very pretty for a name that you don’t hear often.

- Shannan on March 23rd, 2005

Sally Field’s character name was M’lynn which could be how they pronounce it.

That is sooo cool! She had her baby on my birthday. Congrats!

Sheppard was born in March 2003. I dont know what the day that he was born that day. Ask another people if they know what day he born…

If their son is 22 months old, then he couldn’t have been born in March 2003. He would be 24 months(2 years) old if he was. He had to have been born in or very close to January 2003.

according to IMDB.com…..

Has a son named Sheppard, born in March 2003, with his wife Erin.

I think the article must be wrong about him being 22 months old…probably a typo.

- Me on March 24th, 2005

If he had been born in/around January 2003, he would be 26 months, not 22 months. There was an article a week or two ago about James and his wife getting ready for the baby’s birth. It mentioned Sheppard “turning 2 this week”, so him being born in March 2003 would be correct.
