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

[MelinaM]

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

For a long awaited daughter it's a waste of a name.

Sounds like half past seven.

Not feminine, classy, pretty, delicate, or remotely nice.

Congratulations though!

I actually think the name is quite nice. Harper I would chose for the literary connection and I think Becks giving his daughter his lucky number as a middle name is quite sweet really.

If something means so much to him, like a talisman, and now he gives it to his baby girl.

Awww.

sounds like a brand of beer!

First thing I thought was it sounds like half past seven

I have a Lana.
Phew, phew, phew.

Not fussed about the 7 bit but Harper is such an American cliche now. It would have been more interesting and surprising if she'd gone for a pretty traditional name or one we'd never heard of.

The big question is, has David got room on his back for another tattoo?

Not very feminine. Considering VB was 'desperate' for a girl, I am a bit shocked by how unfeminine it is.

I think Harper is lovely...no matter what they had chosen some people would slate it jusdt because of who they are. As for it being masculine...I would
never have thought of that but then I only know the name from Harper Lee so...

what is the relationship bw to kill the mocking bird and seven? i cant remember?

My 12 year old son heard it as "half a seven" and said why didn't they call it three and half

I quite like Harper. Whatever she chose would be heavily criticised. I am very pleased for them. How exciting.

I think I remember studying that in Roman mythology Harpies had ravenous appetites and constantly stole food. However, in Greek mythology they weren't so objectionable.

Virgil said something along the lines of.. They are birds with girls' countenances and a disgusting outflow from their bellies. Their hands have talons and their faces are always pallid with hunger.'

i like it.

it's pretty and the little lady will be too :)

Seven was DB's shirt number at Man U (and England?), hence why it has significance.

So there isn't a connection between Seven and TKAMB. At least. I don't think so...

OMG - what a cr*p name; only some pretentious celebrity would name their child this. Still, at least she'll never have to wear a name badge and ask 'would you like fries with that'.

In my opinion there is nothing even remotely masculine about the name Harper. I too have a much longed for baby girl, she is only 5 months old, and we have called her Harper. Perhaps I didn't long for her enough for some posters, to saddle her with such a crap name.

It's not an american name either, it is English. I had never heard of The Wizards of Waverly Place until we started telling people her name. I was miffed enough about that (the assumption from some people that that is where the name came from) but I am absolutely gutted that the Beckhams have chosen it. Irrationally so. :(

nothing wrong with Harper.

Seven is fucking stupid though. Still, at least it is only a middle name.

Er, what's the time, Mr Wolf?

It's half past seven!

Good thinking!

Inspector Gadget, don't be gutted, Harper is a lovely name, and is still a great name.

I don't get why people are quite so full of vitriol about the Beckhams, and their choice of names, it's bizarre.

And, I'll say it again, it is UNISEX!

I quite like Harper, pretty name, cos they will defo have a pretty girl.

The Seven lets it down though, especially if thats to do with his football career. Too pretentious!

Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. Lovely names.

Harper isn't to my taste and is already quite ahem popular 'round my way. Seven is way too try hard. They would have been much more cutting edge if they had just called the poor girl Jane.

Harper is nice I think, not a name I would choose but the sad thing is that it wont be unusual for too much longer now. Seven

I have heard worse.
I assumed that they would go for a more feminine sounding name. Not to offend anyone but Harper sounds more unisex to me.
