What do we think of the Beckhams' new baby's name?

I guess Harper isn't so bad... I know a family of all girls and the names are Hunter, River, and Mount. And these kids are picked on for it.

But for celebs having kids with weird names I don't think they are going to be made fun of and most likely will be know as a famous kid.

I actually like the name Harper, but they are celebs so they have to throw in the silly middle name of seven.

What awful names! What were their parents thinking? Hunter and River for a boy - yes. But they are not girls' names. And Mount - WTF?!?

Interesting... I know a couple Harpers IRL. I think that name is becoming pretty trendy and to me it's a girl name all the way.

I really do not believe the whole "we were told boy but then told girl" bit at all,i think its a cover up for doing pgd since its not allowed in England and they maybe dont want people knowing but if they did do pgd i really wish they would be honest and maybe it would bring this issue to light a bit more.Another thing that shocked me was the baby weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces? I dont see how she could have even carried such a wonderfully average size baby in her tiny little tummy meanwhile i had a 7 pound 4 oz baby and looked like someone who had swallowed 2 thanksgiving turkeys whole lol

Lol, my first baby was 6lb 4oz and I was the size of a bus!

I quite like the name - the middle name is a little odd but if it has a special meaning then I'll let them off :D Personally I'd choose something more feminine after 3 boys but I don't think their boys have particularly masculine names anyway!

My first DS was 6lb4 too, good weight to get out!!! The name is not common in England at all, I wouldn't choose it but think it's quite sweet.

Ha my first child was 8 pounds 14 3/4 ounces and i had a drug free labor....he is now 13 and 74 pounds and i always say hes never been big except the day that he was born and that was just to be a pain in my ass lol

I thought this also.

I had thought about the name Harper...it was on my long list of boy names at one point. The only reason we scratched it was because of our Prime Minister here in Canada...who I think is a d!ck- Steven Harper. Just made me think of him every time we said the name..LOL

I don't mind it though:) I'm not a huge fan of the middle name but I also liked a name close to it.....Severin- for a girl. I like really different names too:)
