to be mildly pleased for the Beckhams, and to hold no opinion on their lovely daughter's name

[grumpypants]

because honestly. be nice !

I also have no opinion. Nor do I know what it is.

(what is it?)

I am always nice, BTW

It is Harper Seven apparently. Perfectly lovely.

Dreadful name, sounds like the sister to 7 of 9 (and she'll get called Harpic).

Blakes Seven would be better

Harper is actually a great name. Harper Lee. Great author. Well done.

YANBU. A healthy happy baby has been born to a family that loves her - why people would want to mock and be shitty about it is beyond me.

Quite.

No no no ladythumb that is not right! AIBU to just think congrats and then get on with my life - why be spiteful about it just because its the internet and a famouse type? It's not really unusual at all.

Why does anyone care?

YANBU.

How nice for them. Congrats.

Whether its Harper Seven or Tender Nine it would be a teensie BU not to have a quiet snigger at such a attention seeking silly rather unusual name [hmmm]

I know. If they'd called her Candy Floss Starlight Beckham she'd be rubbished too.

I am thrilled for them - and I don't care if that's very sad! I have 3 DS and then a lovely DD (sorry, the DS are lovely too!) and I totally understand how excited they must be. Plus it's just lovely having another baby!

Don't particularly care about what they call her - each to their own!

I feel ambivalent about the name - expected much worse! But the idea that Victoria "I've never had time to read a book" Beckham named her after Harper Lee is laughable

Couldn't care less really as I don't know them.

It is a fucking stupid name though

YANBU. But you cannot blame other people for being interested, as the Beckhams court publicity at every opportunity they can hardly be surprised at folk taking an interest.

YANBU and I rather like the name!

I'm sorry, but Seven is a stupid name. If they didn't want people to take the piss, then they shouldn't have made such a silly choice.

Harper is nice though

yanbu good on them. Considering the track record of other 'celebs' that change partners like they change their underwear, they seem a solid family bringing up their kids in a loving environment

YANBU.
