aww that's lovely - they must be so happy! 
I'm sure I saw that Prince William would be a Godfather.
I wonder if she'll ever crack a smile..

I agree suze... i thought I'd misheard on the radio this morning. I like Harper though (and was it only me that counted them and the boys and thought 'Harper Six, surely...?' (do they have a dog?)
Congratulations to them.
Whatever else is said about the Beckhams, they appear to be good parents to their three sons, and now have a daughter who will also be much loved. Good on them.
I really like the Harper bit...not so sure on the Seven but as its only a middle name it doesn't really matter.
I didn't twig but the local radio were talking about it today.. seven was his player number, wasn't it?
(they also misheard it as 'half past seven')

Now, that would have been unusual.
I think it's lovely news too, but I'm not keen on the name. Harper sounds incredibly masculine to me, and Seven? Ah well, it's their choice, and no doubt what they chose they would be picked on about it. 
Names? i bet its something like . . .
GUCCI
ELIZABETH ARDEN
BOTOX

Hahaha - I like that Kaffy 
I haven't seen or heard any news yet today - I wonder what inspired Harper?

Probably named after Harper Lee, as To Kill a Mockingbird is David's favourite novel. 
^^ tend to agree with Renton
Maybe it was Harper Valley PTA??
I had a debate with a customer this morning about the name;
He said it's a terrible name, the child will get picked on at school and they should think about when their kids get into the real world!
My argument was, their kids go to school with other kids who have unusual names so it'll be no big deal to them, and they live in an entirely different world to us- even when the kids are all grown up they still won't live in "the real world" as you & I would know it..
So I think it's great, I hope they are having a wonderful time with baby harper

I wondered if that was where they'd got it from - and then dismissed it.
Here's hoping it is not shortened to Harpy as in the dictionary that is defined as "nasty or bad tempered woman " poor wee soul..

My thoughts exactly - Harper is a nice enough name but Seven is plain daft
Then again if they didn't call the little bub something different, we'd all lose interest in about 5 minutes and can you imagine people shouting the Seven bit in a Len Goodman voice

I live a 'realer' world than the Beckhams and my kids are friends with a bunch of anagrams and apostrophes.

Harper is more likely to be from Harper's Bazaar, the fashion magazine.
Congratulations to them, their family is complete. They seem very good parents, i wish them well

Sash just read elsewhere that the Beckhan boys picked the name Harper after the character in their favourite tv programme, The Wizards of Waverley Place. I'd forgotten about her.
