THE BECKHAMS AWAIT INDEPENDENCE DAY BABY

They still got them over their in USA?

Iv"e just been watching the News on channel 4....don"t forget Dewani is on at 8pm ,Dispatches on Ch 4. Anyway , a reporter was in the street asking
the public what they thought of the number, as you can imagine everyone thought the parents were mad saddling their Daughter with a name like that.

No one could understand the Harper bit but the Studio suggested 7 was because their daughter was born on the 7th Month, at 7.55am, weighing
7.lb 10 ounces and David wore the No 7 0n his Football shirt at Man. United ........so there you have it.

After
a week of speculation, David Beckham has finally revealed the reasons
behind his newborn daughter Harper Seven's unusual name.
Despite
a long-held rumour that his wife Victoria has never read a book, the
footballer said they had named their daughter after Harper Lee - the
author of Posh's favourite book To Kill A Mockingbird.In
a series of videos posted on his official Facebook page, the LA Galaxy
player speaks about his joy as becoming a father for the fourth time.



What's in a name: David Beckham explains the reasons he and wife Victoria chose Harper Seven's names in a Facebook video



Inspiration: Victoria's favourite book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Dismissing speculation they named
Harper Seven off a character from Disney TV show Wizards Of Waverly
Place or Harper's Bazaar magazine, David said the name had a literary
meaning for them.He said: 'A lot of thought goes into our children's names and Harper was a name that we've loved for a long time for a couple of reasons.'One
reason is Harper's an old English name which we loved and one of the
other reasons was Victoria's favourite book is To Kill A Mockingbird and
the author was Harper Lee. It's a very strong, passionate book. That's
where Harper came from.'The
revelation that is is Victoria's favourite book may surprise some fans,
because it was widely thought she had never read a book.However
in an interview six years ago, she insisted she did read books, but
didn't usually get a chance to finish them due to her busy schedule.The
footballer went on to admit her former shirt number 7 while he played
for Manchester United and England had also played a strong part in them
choosing Seven as a middle name.

O.K. knowall......I had already figured that out. I remember seeing the Film, to Kill a Mocking Bird with Gregory Peck , but still feel that poor baby
will resent her Mother for lumbering her with a name like that.!!!

Hi halfamo, it won"t be too bad if they drop the "7", I keep thinking of Harper Valley PTA

Hi panda yeh the 7 is a bit much but lets hope they keep it to Harper .

Whatever happens, as she grows up Harper will realise her Brothers have had to struggle with their names , Brooklyn, Cruz..can"t remember the 3rd
name, so she won"t feel so bad.

Romeo, Panda. Dear God!

I think Harper will feel she got off lightly.!!! They do have the option of choosing their own names at 18 yrs of age I think.
