Beckham Baby

Like Brooklyn was named after where he was conceived, I guess they decided that they'd name this one after the time instead.

Harpers alright, its a huge name for girls and boys in the USA and think its more normal then Cruz (WTF!?) however SEVEN!??!?! when you say it together it sounds like your saying 'Half Seven Beckham!!'

I really like both names Harper and Seven. It's unusual without being daft (think Fifi Trixabelle Geldof).

?

I think it sounds like a space shuttle.

Yes Harper is a really nice name, not so keen on Seven mind you.

Congrats to them both (even though i think she is a sour puss ?)

I like the name Harper, and I kinda like Seven too. Better than Jason Lee's child's name - Pilot Inspektor Lee. Poor child.

Or Frank Zapper's son: Moon Unit

?

Harper Seven sounds like a new toilet cleaner...

PMSL! Kind of like Cillit Bang... other cleaning chemicals are available.

Wasn't there a horror/ thriller movie called 'seven' a while back? I think Brad Pitt was in it. A bit of a grim association but it was the first thing that came to mind!

There was a horror film called Seven, really good film. I quite like the name Harper, never heard of it before though. Didn't know it was popular in the US. My friend will be gutted, he's always had Seven picked out for what he'd call his kid.

Ah yes, Moon Unit Zappa!

How about these corkers:

Audio Science (Shannyn Sossamon)

Blue Angel (U2's The Edge)

Ireland (Alec Baldwin)

Lark Song (Mia Farrow)

Dweezil & Diva Muffin (Frank Zappa)

Satchel (Spike Lee)

Sage Moonblood (Sly Stallone)

Moxie CrimeFighter (Penn Jillette)

Marquise (50 Cent)

are these people for REAL?! ?

Oh and Erykah Badu's kid is called Seven Sirius.

Of all the people you actually KNOW in your life, have any of them picked odd or unusual names for their kids?

My friends have a Grayson & a Casper. I really like Casper now, but still not sold on Grayson.

see, theres a grayson in Cougar Town and hes hot so am quite warming to the name

My cousin has a son called Fletcher, I think that's the most unusual I can come up with. I'll have to have a think!

The name Harper always makes me think of To Kill A Mocking Bird. Loved that book

LMR - To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favourites too.

Someone I work with has a granddaughter called Trinity. Really don't like that name.

Through the powers of faceyb i have noted that in recent months people i went to school with have had babies with the following names..

Betsy Margaret (i kid you not)

Mercedes (and the older brother is called Aston 1st name Martin 2nd name, again, i kid you not)

Cameo ( a girl, i mean, what?)

and

Francine (or frances, i cant remember!) Pamela

I can only guess these kiddies were names while mummy was high on every drug going ?

I've come across some great ones at work.

Rio & Leo (twins)

Britannia

Asda

...I kid you not.

Once knew a girl called Storm, after X Men.

@ Mrs C: Funny you should say that, as I was thinking it sounded like a new and improved bottle of Harpic! "Harpic Seven, coming soon to shelves near you....."

I like Harper - but one of the BT ladies pointed out it sounds like half past seven so I now have that thought in my head.

Like when Nicole Kidman had Sunday Rose and someone said it sounded like Sunday Roast! ?

We have had loads of duplicates in our friends and family circle with relatively normal names:

4 x Noah

4 x Charlie

2 x Henry

1 x Harry

2 x Jack

And then a few old fashioned sounding ones...

1 x Douglas (Dougie)

1 x Reginald (Reggie)

1 x Arthur (brother of Reggie)

And then...

1 x Rocco

1 x Scarlotte Poppy

2nd Cousins - Willow May & Flynn (means Son of a redhead - my cousin looks like a ginger Liono... big red curly hair and fluffy red beard!!)

Niece & Nephew - Carla (Portuguese) & Jaime (Portuguese spelling of Jamie for a boy... I did tell my sister that I thought it wass a girl's name but she didn't care!)

I'm torn with him - he can be hot but he has tiny eyes...

Mr C was very nearly Chris... considering his surname is Cross, I will not allow my MIL to name our children!!!
