Harper Seven Beckham!!!!!! ...dear me, no!!!

[MelinaM]

It would appear that this is the chosen name for their longer for darling daughter!!!!!

i think its awful! I thought after 3 boys and her apparent longing for a girl she would have chosen something pretty and girly? Harper is bad but seven is typical of trying too hard!

I think it's a serene name - well suited to her other children's names whilst maintaining some femininity
Let's face it - she couldn't win on here could she?
Lovely name

she has been watching too much america kids TV, harper is a character in one of the iritating kids programs. 7 - eek scary movy connetations.... maybe there seventh attempt at getting a girl (could have been failed IVF's miscarriages, etc in between)....

Well I'm happy to stand corrected diddl - the only Harper I know is Harper Lee - as I said, I really like the name.

Seven is quite biblical and spiritual.

Isn't it also considered to be quite a lucky number?

No-one in this country would think of???? It's been popular here for a good few years! I think it comes from a term show. I love it nut was only saying the other day how popular it's getting

Seven of Nine was rather cool I thought.

Do you think everyone around them was too scared to tell them that she'll get called 'Half Past Seven Beckham'. She's really in for it at school!!!

half past seven - that did make me chortle!! I think Harper is a nice name, but you wouldn't want it "shortened" to Harpy.

I knew a dog called Seven. As in Heinz 57

....half past seven!?!?! genius.

I wonder if they realized how popular it is? Is it from that show with Shannon doherty in it?

I like it too - thekidsmom, for the same reasons :)

The Beckhams never really struck me as Seinfeld fans ...

But just because Harper Lee is female, it doesn´t (imo) make the name sound any less masculine.

It's a hard sounding name. Presumably she won't be continually called by her full name but to my ear Harper Beckham doesn't flow. pbpbpbpb.

It's like Jessie Wallace little girl Tallulah Lilac. LLLLLLLLL It just ...trips up. IYSWIM

My friend thought we were saying the baby had been born at "har' past seven"

I think its a lovely name :) I always wanted a girl

What's with flowing names??? I've never heard anything like it. I bet our parents didn't think whether our names flowed or not!!! I really like it but, it's popular enough already. I bet to their American friends it's like ella, nice name but, there's zillions.

Sounds like 'half-past seven' to me?!? Well thats what i thought they said when I first heard it announced!

I really thought they would go for a feminine name for thier daughter.

Will always think of it as half past seven!

Hideous name.

As for the second name. I knew some people who named a child Seven in the 1970s, they "just liked the sound of it".

Fits with the names of the boys, they all have a 'surnamey' sound.

Half-past-seven - love it

Well, l like it. The fact that Dave Grohl has a Harper too has absolutely nothing to do with it. And middle names are overrated so Seven, who cares really?

Victoria, thumbs up from me (not that you'll care!).
