To think Harper Seven sounds like a

[roybosh]

Cyborg from a terminator movie and not a child

These names celebs are giving their children are getting worse

my son said it sounded like a planet

I seem to be the only person i know who loves the name

sounds like half-past seven...maybe David misunderstood when Posh told him the time the baby was born

My maiden name was Harper - they used to call me Harpic - clean round the bend

Oh yeah and also 'appy 'arper

I don't believe for one moment they were influenced by classic literature. This is the Beckhams whe are talking about!

we

I hope the poor kid doesn't end up as Harpie :(

Surely they wouldn't have actually read To Kill A Mockingbird. I'm not being funny but.. it is much more likely to be something to do with Harpers Bazaar

Or they could have watched the film, it's a very influential film and one widely watched in schools for donkeys years.

Just to give them the benfit of the doubt, althoug it is more likely to be after the magazine!

and Harper Lee's actual first name was Nelle...

You are being funny corrie. You made me laugh.

I guess that the choices of 'Harper' and 'Seven' might have very specific personal importance to The Beckhams much the same as when named DS1 aNd DS2.

That said, I think something like 'Moonbase Alpha' (Space: 1999 fans will understand) would be cool.

I like it. I'm sure there's another sleb with a Harper though.

I wonder if the footie themed second name means that Beckham is going to finish off his career in the UK, they're coming back this summer aren't they?

I like it...!!

There is nothing wrong with the name and since she is not a friend or relative I don't think you need to worry or be concerned.

It's too like Harpy.

If you say it quick enough its...........half past seven......

i like the name and maybe its Harper after Wizards of Waverly Place - who's knows.

My DD's have names which have appeared in Friends and Neighbours and other TV shows and literature however we chose them because we liked the names and the meanings when reading them in a baby name book.

bloody awful.

Why oh why do people insist on giving their children such freakish names? Seven is not a name it's a number fgs.

And do people not consider the impact when they call their kid something which they think is cute/querky/unusual only for the rest of the world to think it's odd/awful. Kids have to live with names for the rest of their lives...

Harper was the name of a character in a Patricia Cornwell novel. She was an elderly sister of a nasty novelist.
It's one of those names I can't see with a newborn baby, but hey.

A member of the foo fighters has a daughter called Harper, Myleen class has a daughter hero harper, And Nicole Richie has a daughter Harper. Didnt Vicky once say she had never read a book, so I doubt the baby is named after a famous author!

Its not the most offensive name I've ever heard-but it sounds like a wine bar to me

Stop harping on.

Sounds like a make of car!
