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

[MelinaM]

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

lovin the name harper

Harper is OK.

Like a few others I too got the George Costanza reference!

It still sounds a bit harsh to me, but if they love it.
Harlow has a similar feel but a little more feminine.

Btw, I believe Harper is a unisex name.

Give it a few years, and all you will hear in soft play/nurseries/playgrounds:
'Arpur, git 'ere ya little sod'
'Get orf that swing Arpie'
And no doubt the chavs will invent their own unique spelling of the name, Harpur, Harpurr, Hahper etc
Lovely.

What's it got to do with Sienfeld? I thought I was a fan and, I haven't got it!

i quite like Harper but Seven is just la la land I'm afraid.

I like the name Harper not so keen on Seven but understand the meaning for it.

I went to school with a girl called Harper and that was back in 1970s in the wilds of rural Norfolk!

Really like it. Sorry.

Think it's a very safe and strong name.

And I know one and she is lovely.

And it's a name I'd choose for my own child

I don't know why people are having a dig at it tbh and, why wouldn't the Beckhams be Seinfeld fans? Why do the bring out the snobbery in people so much?

I didn't even realise these are names. They just sound like words to me. I honestly don't understand why anyone would want to call a baby either of these names, especially a girl. [just my opinion of course].

We had a son 3 months ago and Harper was on our girls list, along with Nel!! In fact when we went to register our son my husband still tried to get Harper as his middle name but I refused (and we had a row in front of the registrar!!) as I thought it was too girlie. He's eating his words this morning!

i agree it sounds like a space shuttle, but i do like "Harper" on its own.

Seven? Have they not seen the film?!

Commiserations momino.

Maybe VB also liked the connection to Harper´s Bazaar?

(is it still called that?)

Harper reminds me of harpies... violent winged women from greek mythology...

Sounds like a naval vessel IMO!

I like Harper, its reminds me of the girl in Wizards of Waverley Place

Not sure about Seven as a name, but they usually pick odd stuff for their kids names dont they. At least Harper has it as a middle name and not first name. That would be so much worse!

I like Harper.
Wonder if VB was looking at the other thread, where we were guessing what she would call her new daughter.
I put a few names down & one of those was Harper

I think this proves once and for all that Victoria is not a mumsnetter

I couldn't give a fart's arse what she's called. But did anybody really expect her to be called Chloe (or something...)?

Yes, it's still Harper's Bazaar

I doubt they've even heard of 'Harpies' Don'tCallMe!!! I've a feeling that 'Harpeia' may start to catch on soon though

Her name is going to be the least of that girls problems.

Harper is a nice name. DD has a friend called Harper.
Seven is a bit weird, but it means something to her dad so that's quite sweet. And maybe they really are Seinfeld fans!

Harpeia would just be plain EVIL!
