As I’m sure many of you have heard by now, David and Victoria Beckham have gone against my express wishes and named their daughter something other than Santa. No, instead of having a little baby girl with a lovely, festive name with magical connotations, they went in a different direction. The name, of course?
Harper Seven Beckham.
Honestly? Ok, I’m fine with Harper. I actually love Harper. Kelly Kapowski named her daughter Harper, and I was just pleased as punch. The problem, for me, lies in the middle name. I didn’t even know that the Beckhams were Seinfeld fans:
Totally agree — Harper is cute, but Seven… reminds me of Thirteen, from House.
They are actually not the first celebrity couple to name their child Seven. I forget who the others were but I know someone else did.
I’m the opposite – seven is fine, but Harper? For a girl? Hm.
I think Harper is more commonly a girl’s name than a boy’s. Harper Lee? Atticus? Scout? Truman Capote? Wow! This comment is a veritable wellspring of great names, so take notes.
Being a football and Man United fan, I think it could be easily a tribute to the famous number 7 jersey. The celebrated number 7 jersey of Man United has been worn by many legends at Old Trafford, including George Best & Eric Cantona.
Beckham was using no.10 at first and only started wearing the no.7 jersey right after Cantona retired. It’s a big deal jersey in Man U xD
Beckham will always be a ‘Red’ at heart!
