Seven!

That's George Costanza's favourite baby name.

Is seven Beckham's number?

It just reminds me of the film, which frightened me shitless.

I like Harper, Seven is a bit...Hmm.

(Seven Of Nine? Is Becks a closet Trekkie?)

Seven.... because she was born in the seventh month?

Born in the 7th month at 7.55pm and weighing 7lbs, 7 is Beckhams number which he has tattooed on him in roman numerals! Got this from The Sun website!

It's the name of one of Neil Patrick harris's twins and some minor sleb's too...

Very popular here in the states right now...I used to really like it, but it will go the same way as Taylor. Used to be a slightly bookish sounding upper middle class name, now you hear it all the time on the baby beauty pageant circuit.

I'm most upset. our dd's name is Harper. I quite liked that it wasn't so popular here. The name is ruined. didn't know about Myleene Klass' baby .... ok that's it.

I like it. Not so sure about the "Seven" bit, but its just the middle name. Good luck to them all.

Harper is ok, prob better for a boy. Scout would have been a more fitting tribute to 'To Kill a Mockingbird ' for a girl.

Hate Seven, it just reminds me of that Brad Pitt film, it's very creepy.

I dont like Harper (sorry momino), I thought they would have went for something a lot more girly tbh. Harper Seven sounds like a spaceship to me.

I really liked it when I heard 'Harper' - didnt understand Seven until reading this thread!

I think its an excellent choice - reflects her American 'heritage' in choosing a name no-one in this country would think of - didnt put the Beckhams down as big on literature but as 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is a favourite in this house, I approve!

wouldn't say it was a pretty name infact sounds more like a boys name.thought they would choose something more feminine.

Maybe they are massive fans of 'My Family'

I would have thought they would have picked a more girly girl name
toomrstimlovejoy.

Also thought about seven of nine... didn't realise seven was actually a name.
