I suppose it could have been worse 'Takeabreak' anyone? 'Pickmeup'? 'Topsante'? Actually, 'Sante'...

why not find an actual name that means seven/seventh?

cos they is fick innit

half past seven is a lovely name

I really like it, but I thought of Harper from Wizards of Waverly as well, which is funny because she is the one with terrible dress sense. She wears dresses made from magic markers and clown shoes and toilet roll hats.
And she fancies the older brother.

YANBU, not surprised they have gone for yet another crappy name. What else do we expect from celebs these days.

MalibuStac · 11/07/2011 10:27

Seven is beckhams england shirt number. I quite like harper it could have been far worse.

FreudianSlipper · 11/07/2011 10:29

oh dear George Costanza is going to be very upset :o

seven is a daft name, harper is ok sounds better for a boy

Love Harper. Very 'old American' and 'waspy'. Love it.

stargazer83 · 11/07/2011 10:36

I like the name Harper and even though I dont like Seven its there choice and therefore nothing to do with any of us.

Also the number 7 prob holds lots of emotional meaning for the Beckhams. David and Victoria first met, fell in love and married whilst David was playing for man utd and england in the # 7 shirt in 97. The spice girls were together for 7 years (94 - 2000 & 07 - 08) If its true VB had a MC then Harper would be the 7th family member. 7 is the number for luck and they have wanted a girl for years ect ect.

I think it's sweet, but I'm not keen on bland names. I don't know why people get so hot under the collar when people don't conform with names.

pigletmania · 11/07/2011 11:13

Of all the beautiful girls names in the world why seven!

DaisyDaresYOU · 11/07/2011 11:16

Sounds like a time.Half past 7 Grin

TattyDevine · 11/07/2011 11:23

If I was having David Beckham's baby I'd call it whatever he wanted it to be called!!!

squeakytoy · 11/07/2011 11:28

I think it sounds more like a boys name than a girls. (Actually sounds more like a lager or a sci-fi series too... )

And her initials will be H7B, which sounds like a pencil, just like her mothers figure!

latermater · 11/07/2011 11:32

Harper is fine, but the addition of Seven makes me think of vintage motorbike.

smartyparts · 11/07/2011 11:32

I like Harper, and am amazed they have chosen a comparatively normal name. But 7?? Ffs.

My ds knowes a Harper - she gets called Parper!

smartyparts · 11/07/2011 11:33

Knows! argh

mysterynotsolved · 11/07/2011 11:35

I find Harper an awful name. A cluster of harsh sounds. Probably the worst name I ever heard to call a little girl.

Harper Seven , words fail.
DH says it sounds like a robot.

piratecat · 11/07/2011 11:45

like a journo just said it sounds like it was the time the baby was born lol.

i think Harper is a lovely name, not so keen on Seven but its not dreadful. i think lots of people were determined to hate whatever name they picked tbh.

WhereYouLeftIt · 11/07/2011 11:46

Star Trek Voyager, anyone? (Amazonian ex-Borg Seven of Nine Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01, in case I'm the only trekkie).

How can Seven not be dreadful. It's not a name, it's a number ffs. Harper is awful but at least it's been in use as an actual name. How many people do you know called Seven?

It is like a car.
