Geoffrey Settle Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Is she one of your grandchildren OBS The Telegrah's Bryony Gordon writes: 'Well, they were never going to call her Anne, were they? On Sunday, a new Beckham was welcomed to the world, a daughter for Posh Spice and Goldenballs, a sister for Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz. Harper Seven was born in Los Angeles, not – as some had thought – at half past seven, but at five minutes to eight in the morning. “I am so proud and excited,” said David Beckham, who is rumoured to have cried like a… well, baby. It is not known what Suri Cruise, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt or Apple Martin make of the new arrival in the celebrity kindergarten. Will they bully her, or will they offer her advice on how to cope with having a ridiculous name? “If anyone starts calling you Harpy,” you can just imagine Geri Halliwell’s daughter Bluebell Madonna whispering to her, “tell ’em that your dad is mates with Prince William and once got sent off for kicking an Argentine really hard.” The fact that little Harper Seven is barely 48 hours old has not stopped some from making cruel comments about the baby’s name: “daft”, “ridiculous” and sounding like “a miscarriage of justice” were among the reactions. But as Shakespeare once wrote: what’s in a name? It would seem unlikely that the Beckhams have named their daughter after To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee. Some have suggested that Victoria Beckham may have been inspired by the fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar, but even for a notorious clothes horse this is surely sinking a little low' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Harper Seven is quite good but if the Beckhams had just used an anagram of it instead, it would be 'even sharper'. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Blummin' stupid name in my opinion though. 'Harper' for a boy wouldn't have been so bad in the silly world of showbiz names but not for a girl surely. Well as usual the needs of Pouty and Becks to hit the headlines clearly outweighed the need for a name that the litle girl wont be embarrased of as she gets older. I thought my son was joking when he told me her name last night and like Fugs has already said 'Harper Seven Beckham' immediately reminded me of a 'beer' advert..... or one for naff aftershave Anyway still not as bad as Wacko Jacko's little baby 'Blanket' I suppose or Satchel: Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee child or Apple: Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's child or Pilot Inspektor: Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf's child or Moxie CrimeFighter: Penn Jillette's child (also father to Zolten) ... sounds like a razor to me ... "try the new Moxi Crimefighter Jillette, for a close shave with the Law' or Moon Unit: Frank Zappa's child, also father to Dweezil and Diva Muffin OMG the tears are now streaming down my face and I've got a right fit of the giggles....... Dweezil Zappa and Diva Muffin Zappa just got me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Dweezil Zappa. Sounds like one of those things that JML advertise. The new and improved Dweezil Zappa. Flies a nuisance? Midges driving you mad? Not with the JML Dweezil Zappa. Pesky biting insects will be a thing off the past with thw Dweezil Zappa only £9.99 ffrom leading JML stockist.

Eagle Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 The Harper comes from her brothers liking for a Disney character called Harper, the seven from being born in the seventh hour in the seventh month and weighing seven pound................I think the clincher was the number seven on her back.

Dizzy Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 apparently little 'Harper Seven' Beckham was named following a misunderstanding. David thought the Doctor asked him the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 The Harper comes from her brothers liking for a Disney character called Harper, the seven from being born in the seventh hour 7.55 to be precise. Another 6 minutes and she would have been called 'After Eight' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 A mate of mine was called QUITZ Jones. Apparently he had four brothers and after the fourth one was born his mother said she was calling it quits after that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I hope the little girl doesn't grow up like her stupid obsessed mum... sulky pouting mouth and never seen in public smiling. Saying that with a name like Harper Seven I doubt she will smile very often. Has anyone ever seen 'Posh' smile by the way... does she have teeth or has she had so much botox that she can't actually smile anymore hence the expressionless blank dopey miserable look.
