Harper Seven

[Snelly]

Harper Seven. The name that the Beckhams have given their new-born daughter. Maybe they misunderstood and thought someone had asked for the time of birth rather than the baby's moniker?!

I suppose it was to be expected that they would go with something daft. I find it unfathomable as to why people like the Beckhams feel the need to do this when naming children. I always thought harper was predominently a boys name? But Seven? Eh?

Apparently it's because they like the sound of the word? If this was their criteria then they should have gone for windowsill as studies have concluded that this is the nicest sounding word in the English language.

What a pair of vacuous airheads.......

If that was the trend back when I was born I think my name might have been something like Backseat Zephyr!!!!

Marginally better than Moon Unit 11 Zappa, or Zowie Bowie, but not by much.

Looking forward to seeing the 'exclusive' (i.e. we sold them for £3 million) pics in 'Goodbye' or whatever those 'celeb' mags that women read are called, followed by the usual call for their privacy to be respected!!!!

In the Beckhams defence, i think Harper is quite a widely used name for girls and even boys in America.

And there was a character called Seven of Nine in Star Trek Voyager ......

Severn \s(e)-ve-rn\ as a boy's name is of Old English origin, according to a baby name listing.

They just got the spelling wrong, but does that surprise us?

Perhaps if she ends up like her mum then she should be called Thinderella. I think the seven just refers to the parents combined IQ.

I thought i heard on the radio that Harper Seven was a name from a Seinfeld episode ? Maybe i mis-heard it but who am i to criticise someone for their baby's name . Is it really that big a deal ?

Well they got the Seven part from the shirt number David always wore, no idea about Harper though.

drinks order, Harp 'r' 7-(up that is).

 

[viscount17]

it's better than a lot of names out there, though being sexist, Harper does sound more suited to a boy. Better than Cellist anyway

Where is Atticus Finch when you need him?

The lady author of 'To Kill A Mockingbird'' name is Harper Lee.

Yes I know and a great book it is too. Are you suggesting that the Beckhams took their inspiration from the author of their favourite slice of contemporary American literature?

Somehow, I doubt it...

No, it was from a cartoon character.
