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

[MelinaM]

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

girl's even

Wait till she hits 8 years old and starts denying she's Seven..

Indeed, but the teen mums will love it!!!

My first reaction was 'the poor child' but actually after a moment to let it sink in I don't mind it so much. I've heard far worse.

I hate the sly digs implying that they are thick. "oh, they wouldn't get harpies, they won't be Seinfeld fans blah, blah" no wonder they aren't coming back to the uk. I bet they don't encounter any snobbery where they are. I'm thinking of that awful schools thread as well.

At least Victoria did not have to worry about anyone "stealing" the name.
I like Harper TBH

Could have been worse they could have called her Blake instead of Harper

Harper sounds like a surname.
Makes me think of a harpoon.
Rhymes with viper.
Basically bleugh.

Super naff, but to be expected!

Half past seven? Optimum conception time for Posh?

You orrible lot. It's not naff at all. If you lived in the States you wouldn't think that.

"Harper sounds like a surname. "

Well it is, isn´t it?

"Super naff, "

I wouldn´t called it naff, it´s a recognised name-unless you mean the "Seven"

It's not what I expected at all, and not what I'd choose but it's OK....seven is a bit weird though

Harper was on my list as my favourite book is To Kill A Mockinbird - I'm due my first DC early next year. Needless to say, it's been crossed off the list

At least I still have Holden for a boy (Hubby's choice - from the only book he's actually read all the way through!)

I think it's tacky...not that I expected anything less.

I'm with the poster who said in 5 years time you'll hear it being screeched across busy supermarkets by a certain breed of person.

I wouldn't hate it if it was an American boys' name...but I certainly wouldn't choose it for a child born in Britain.

I wonder if VB has read To Kill AMB?

Donna, did your husband understand The Catcher in the Rye?!

Truly dreadful, but exactly what one would expect of the tacky, tasteless, stupid Beckhams.

YellowingWallpaper - yes which is why he thinks it won't be used much! Plus, our thinking is any name will have negative associations if you look hard enough.

Harper is definately off the list because of the same reason as the comment above - the chavvy variations that will be around in 5 years time. The fact that Neil Patrick Harris has a daughter called Harper Grace didn't put us off (my cat is called Grace - he has good taste in names!) but this certainly has!

We're now thinking Lauren for a girl instead - far too boring for celebs! :D

Instead of being shortened to Harpie, maybe it will be Happy

And although this is a much wanted and loved baby girl, VB does not strike me as pink and fluffy (a la Katie Price) Like all the other names, and every other parent, they've found names that they've a) they like, and b) they've agreed on

love the name Harper

not so sure about Seven- is that cos David was number 7 when he played for Man U?

and the fact that it's July as well?

Seven means complete in Hebrew.

There are some utterly nasty people on this thread. I'm sure your children all have perfect names. There's some real bitches around here.

I think it a stupid name but they dont live in they dont live in the real world so they can get away with it harper sound manish I feel sorry for her but she never need to go out a get a job so she be ok.

Cheeez, some horrible comments on this thread. And as someone else has said, whatever this baby was named, it would have been critisised.
