A Baby for ER Star
ERs Mekhi Phifer and his fiancée Oni Souratha have welcomed their first child together, his rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Mekhi Thira Phifer was born in Los Angeles on Tuesday at 6:47 a.m., and weighed 5 lbs., 4 oz.
"We are really happy and excited," the couple tells PEOPLE. "He is beautiful."
The boy joins Omikaye, the actor's 8-year-old son from a previous relationship.
The couple showed off their son's green-themed nursery to some 200 friends – including Don Cheadle and Laura Linney – at their baby shower earlier this month.
"This is just the start of the tribe," Phifer, 32, told PEOPLE at the shower. "I want to have four or five kids."

(maybe it's me, but it seems a bit odd to have 3 boys in one family with essentially the same name, none of whom are a "jr." -Mekhi, Omikaye (which I'm guessing is pronounced oh-mekhi) and baby Mekhi

but I love him on E.R. his best scenes were with Ming-Na though.
alternately, my grandfather was named mance jr. though there was no mance senior, his parents just thought it sounded pretty. at least he didnt get stuck with one of his brother's names nefie or orbie...
Christopher Paul
and
Christopher Thomas Paul
It's annoying as hell though doing business. Everyone thinks we're the same person.
Either way, I must say he's a very good actor. I like him.
Oh, and he was in Carmen: A Hip Hopera, lol.
Girl: "ohhhh mehkiiiiii *moan*"
him: "we should name the baby that!"
girl: "whatever you want, just don't stop"
-_-
Ok, I need bed.
A tribe of five kids named Mekhi.
And to think it always bugged me how Will & Jada Smith named their kids Willow and Jaden. They get a billion points for creativity in comparison.
