Victoria and David Beckham Welcome Daughter Harper Seven

Congrats, can’t wait to hear what they named her!!

Oh yay… Been waiting for this news… Congrats.

Cannot wait to hear the name, something going well with the boys’ names – something special but not to out there.

Congratulations to the Beckhams! Seven Pounds and Ten Oz and born on 7/10!!! That’s pretty cool! Can’t wait to hear the name….

Congratulations, Beckhams! Can’t wait to hear the name they came up with!

Congratulations to the Beckham’s!!!! I can’t wait to hear the name they chose not to mention to see this sure to be gorgeous little girl 😀

That’s wonderful. I know people said she was thin while pregnant but I think she just carries small. It the baby was like 5lbs 9oz that might be different. But 7/10 is a perfectly healthy weight. She seems to have a long torso too so that can make people look smaller than they are. Congratulations to them. As long as they don’t name her Princess, I’m sure I will love the name. LOL

Also, you nay-sayers don’t judge someone base on size.

Finally 🙂

Can’t wait to hear what they named her! I love their sons names and I know Victoria wants her daugther to be very girls so I guessing something ending with -bella or -ia! Very excited!

No surprise that they now have a healthy, beautiful daughter after three healthy, beautiful sons! I really get such a good vibe from them, they are a great family AND great role models. Congratulations!

Was she born via c-section too? Seems like being in a role model position she would take her actions into consideration and how others follow her example irregardless of their situations in life. Nothing more than to be like celebrities.
It isn’t exactly the best way to use your power. But people do what they do ans suppose it doesn’t hurt anything.

Seems a very violent way to begin life, poor little baby.

Sarah – bite me. Assumptions are the mother of all screw ups and judging how someone brings a life into this world is plain RUDE! No one has a clue the reason some choices are made in the delivery room or beforehand. My niece was a planned cesarean because her mom wasn’t comfortable with the “low risk” of passing HSV-2 onto her by vaginal delivery regardless of the precautions ; it still happens and she wasn’t willing to take that chance.

Who cares so long as mother and baby are healthy and happy? I sure as hell don’t.

Congratulations to the very happy family.

Sarah… Violent way to start life?
Many of us were born in not such ideal settings and were born the the direction nature intended us to come out.

Seriously though… C-sections:
One can assume she has c-sections because she wants it that way. Or two you could assume there is medical reasons she has had c-sections for all kids. Not everyone can give birth vaginally. Either way, it’s her medical business and I am certain that baby is not a poor baby at all.

So happy for them!!

Awww yay! So happy to hear about their long awaited baby girl’s arrival! Cannot wait for the name!

I was born C-section and I seem to be just fine. Lol.

I had a “natural” childbirth with my daughter, but I was speaking with someone just the other day who had been in the room for her daughter’s c-section, and the baby didn’t cry when she was born and the doctor explained after that a c-section is actually easier on the baby. It’s not quite as traumatic a transition from the womb to the world as a natural birth is.

So much for your “violent” theory then, Sarah.

Congratulations to the Beckhams! I’m sure she’s a lovely little girl and I’m excited to hear the name.

Family Complete she must be pretty can,t wait to see a pic and to know what her name is all the best!

Congratulations, Victoria and David! I couldn’t be happier for you! I’m sure your new daughter is just precious and I can hardly wait to hear her name and see a picture of her! I’m sure her big brothers Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz love her very, very much! Once again, congratulations, and I wish you all nothing but the very best!!!

And in response to Sarah, she had all of her kids via C-section for medical reasons. Brooklyn was breach and couldn’t be flipped.

Ideally, it’s better for the baby to come down through the birth canal. It’s helpful for their lungs, etc.

That being said, a lot of healthy babies are born by C section.

I like Fiona for the name.

Sorry Liz, ‘irregardless’ is a word – it’s just generally considered informal – and sometimes incorrect because it’s a double negative – but it’s still in the dictionary.

i cannot wait to hear the name
it’ll be something out of the ordinary, but not too crazy

Congrats to them!

Sarah, hold your tongue. If she did in fact have a C-section, is it going to affect any of our lives? No. Not everyone is able to have a vaginal birth so get off your high horse.

I have read in one magazine, that they plan to name her Luna.

The name is Harper Seven Beckham

Harper Seven Beckham! i cant wait to see pics!

Her name is Harper Seven, he just announced it on Facebook

Her name is Harper Seven. David announced it on his Facebook page about 20 minutes ago!!!

Harper Seven Beckham

They named her Harper Seven according to David’s official Facebook page. Love it!

They named her HARPER SEVEN BECKHAM just read on his facebook

I heard she named the baby Harper Seven?

I’ve heard her name is Harper Seven.

According to David’s Facebook, they named her Harper Seven. Harper is pretty, but combined with Seven is just eh.

Her name is Harper Seven Beckham as per David’s Facebook page. Not even close to what I was thinking.

Aww, what a healthy sized baby too! Congrats to their family! My babies have all been smaller and I’ve definitely carried bigger despite a healthy diet and exercise, is Victoria tall?

Sarah, I’ve had 3 vaginal births and I can tell you birth of ANY kind is ‘violent’. Contractions and then coming down the birth canal into cold and bright lights is pretty violent. My second daughter was born so fast she had a lot of bruising on her face for almost 2 weeks after her birth. I wouldn’t get a csection to avoid it, but I don’t think there is a completely serene way for a baby to enter the world.

Harper Seven…ok…

congrats to the whole family! i love the name

Didn’t think they would name the girl something like Harper! Don’t get me wrong, I love that name, but it’s pretty “normal” compared to their sons’ names. I’m not sure how I feel about Seven as a middle name. But anyways, congrats to them!

Maybe it’s Seven because she was born in seventh month and he played with seven on his back when he played for Manchester United.

I like Harper, but Seven?

Her middle name is Seven because that was David’s jersey number for Manchester United and England Soccer before he became number 23 for Real Madrid.

I would think “Seven” came from not only the month she was born in but also the fact that she was born at *7*:55 and weight *7* lbs. That makes sense to me.

Well, good they didn’t name her Unites States of America.

cute name! that was one of my top 5
i choose SLOANE!!

charliee

Having had 3 boys prior to Harpers arrival, they won’t know what to do maybe with a girl. I think Victoria is going to absolutely love dressing her and having fun with her that way, another safe and happy delivery. Congratulations to the Beckham family.

I was totally not expecting that name, I thought it would be something super girly, but both Harper and Seven can be boy name. I’m surprised!

Oooh I like the name Harper! Don’t like Seven, but Harper is really pretty! And surprisingly common considering they like unique names!

I love the name Harper Seven. I’m anxious to find out the meaning behind her name. Congrats to the Beckham family. I’m sure she’s beautiful. Pictures soon please. 🙂

What a retarded name. I assume they haven’t seen the Seinfeld episode about Seven. Not that I was expecting a good name anyway. After all they started the stupid city name trend with Brooklyn.

I’m fairly sure they came here to do PGD to guarantee their little pink bundle (since it’s illegal in the UK) but I thought fir sure that when they went back home not long after announcing their pregnancy that they’d have the baby there. I am shocked they gave birth in the US I wonder if she (the baby) will have dual citizenship…

Love the middle name “Seven”…it can only represent luck in her future life which is all anyone can and should wish any new born! Congrats Becs

Congratulations to the Beckham family and her middle name probably has a meaning behind it like David’s Jersey number, her weight, hour and month of birth.Can’t wait to see her.

Sorry Suri Cruise you will not be the World’s Best Dressed little girl anymore LOL.

My first thought about Seven was his number in Manchester. It could be combined with her being born in the seventh month weighing seven pounds and born in the seventh hour. But number seven has a rich history for Manchester United, and Beckham has often spoke about his strong continuous love for the team that launched his career. It’s kind of funny that this announcement came on the heels of the announcement that he was named to the MLS all-stars who will be playing Manchester United, marking his first time playing against them since he left.

I think its a beautiful name and fits their family, and other childrens names perfectly. Harper is gorgeous and Seven obviously has meaning and adds a modern touch. I love it!

i love it!! what a beautiful name

I don’t know about anyone else, but I strongly dislike the, “after 3 boys, they deserve a girl!” No one ever says that if people have daughters and then get a boy.

Brooklyn Joseph, Romeo James and Cruz David.

A, I wasn’t being snarky – I edited a magazine website before I had kids and we would never have used that word, as it’s considered incorrect.

“Have fun with your celebrity facebook stalking!” – What is that about/in reference to? Thoroughly confused here.

I like the name Harper. I am curious on the meaning behind Seven. And am continually humored by all the people who know things about this family and others. Put a sock in it, you know nothing!!

Mira
Why does the r word need to be used to explain your feelings towards the name? It blows my mind that people actually say that.

Congratulations on the birth! I don’t like the name at all though…oh well, your baby, your choice.

@Sloanesmomma Okay okay we get it, you named your daughter Sloane! In a previous post we got your whole story about naming your kid. It’s irrelevant!!

I had twins 17 years ago-boys. One was vaginal and the other was C-Section, as they are fraternal twins.
Can’t admit I like the name, but can’t admit I like their boys names either. Personal choice.
Anywhooo- she finally got her girl, so guess the Beckham clan is done for now-at least with Victoria.

Horrid name. I expected better from 36 & 37 year olds. Harper is a fad name that only young, immature, impressionable mothers use.

everybody who was saying they cant wait to hear the name really should re-read the article as the name is right there in the 2nd paragraph:

The pop star-turned-fashion designer and her soccer star husband David Beckham welcomed daughter Harper Seven Beckham at 7:55 a.m. Sunday, July 10 in Los Angeles, their rep tells PEOPLE.

Congrats to them!

If I remember correctly, Victoria has said something about her scheduled c-sections being because of medical necessity. Maybe a narrow pelvis? I don’t know. It doesn’t really matter as long as everyone is healthy and happy.

I love this name and I love that they finally have a girl. Harper Seven is one of the best celebrity names I’ve heard. Sure beats Bear Blu and Aleph! Totally fits in with Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz as well.

This is pretty interesting news! On Friday night, David went to the British Consul-General’s home to visit with Willaim and Catherine (he wasn’t on guest list, just showed up as reportedly he and William text and phone all the time). Then Saturday David does soccer. Sunday morning, bam, the baby is born.

Can’t believe the bickering regarding Victoria’s C-Section. Didn’t anyone think that Victoria had three CS and really, with all that scar tissue in her abdomen she’d attempt a VB? No, it’s a CS again. I think it started with their first child that he was breech or sideways and couldn’t be turned. So Victoria isn’t too posh to push. She just had a lot of medical issues when in labour. And I guess the other two just ended up CS for whatever reasons. I think Victoria is incredibly brave to have four CS! I mean that’s not easy and she has a long recovery ahead of her!

Now the baby’s name. Harper Seven. The first things that came to mind was that’s Canada’s Prime Minister’s last name and isn’t that David’s jersey number 7?

And for sure William and Catherine will be godparents to Harper Beckham! 🙂

Congrats to them!-Harper is becoming a popular girls name–same as Lisa Maria + Dave Grohl’s daughter too-I might have thought they would have chosen something like Olivia–or Kate-or Violet.

Haha, I’m kind of relieved she named the girl Harper and not ‘Felicity’ or some of the other names that were mentioned before. I like it 🙂 But names are always personal, nothing you can do about that.

I’m surprised at the name they chose …. hey does anyone know their boys middle names?

I wish Mira would be banned from this site. She never has anything nice to say and many times it is offensive.

Congrats to the Beckham family and your new baby!I’m sure she will very loved.

I thought they would pick a more feminine name, now that they finally got a girl, Harper is masculine,and has very little flow.

M- A fad name that only young, immature and immpressionable mothers use?

Surely Victoria Beckham just proved to you that this is not the case.
Even so, wouldn’t this be how all names became common..?

Harper – such a sweet name. Becoming popular; I know at least two.

@ Defenders of “irregardless”: It’s less that people haven’t “heard the word,” and more that it is a nonstandard (i.e., NOT PREFERRED) bastardization of “regardless.”

you would have thought they would have chosen a “girlie” name, after waiting this long for a little girl.

why are people talking about the way Victoria delivered her baby? shes fine, the baby is fine… isn’t that what really matters? she’s an educated and intelligent person who can have her own choices in life!

as a true medical student (on vacation, of course! and no I’m not from USA), I can say that C-section is “violent” to the baby…people think: it’s unnnatural! many babies are taken off before they are mature and end up going to NICU…if that is not being violent then what is? vaginal birth may be painful but did you know that the contractions prepare the baby for breathing in the outside? even though the baby is squeezed through the birth canal, for it (when things like the sizes of baby and birth canal are compatible, of course) it is better because it will be born when it’s supposed to…I was born via c-section and I am very fine, but mom said it was awful and that was pretty hard for her to take care of my brothers who were 3 and 1 and half at that time… indeed after 2 c-sections the third will be a c-section too… some doctors even say that the woman shouldn’t get in labour because it increases the risk of uterine rupture…

Yeah, M, I’m sure Victoria is somewhere bawling her eyes out because YOU and all the other naysayers don’t approve of what she chose to name HER child. Because you and your opinion matter soooooo much. I’m sure she’s devastated.

Congrats to their family!!!!!…Great Name!!!!!!! @M…… (* – *)….,**blank stare** SMDH some people are really Goofy!!!!

hmm not horrible. I expected either something awful (like Cruz) or something very girly like Annabelle. I just wonder where the Seven is from? Did she have other pregnancies and miscarried? 7 is their lucky number? is it David’s jersey? if so I don’t like that. And no, it’s not better than Grace. Grace is a nice, normal name for a middle name, and usually it has meaning to the family too. just my opinions, of course. I don’t love Harper, it just makes me think of ‘one who harps,’ but again, could be worse!

irregardless is considered incorrect English and is often used in mockery

@Eileen, when this was first posted yesterday morning, the name had not been announced. It was edited to include the name, rather than start another post just to announce the name. That is why the earliest comments were wondering what her name would be, not because we didn’t read it correctly.

Elisa yes a lot of babies that are born via cs are born sick but that is usually because there are complications during the pregnancy or birth process NOT because of the actual cs delivery. As I posted earlier my friend had her baby girl yesterday too and the baby had a broken collar bone. What I didn’t mention is that it was because the baby wasn’t breathing coming out that’s why the Dr had to basically yank her out resulting in the broken collar bone and bubs is still in neo natal with breathing problems. My point is stuff happens in birth no matter which way they come out. Since Victoria has had three previous cs I assume she had another and any dr in their right mind wouldn’t have let her go natural after 3 cs. Who cares how the baby came out. Why does everyone have to beat up other moms about this crap arggh

I’m sure that the Beckhams are very worried and distraught that most of you don’t like the name they picked out for their daughter….a name that they obviously love. They have given a reason. Harper is an old English name…and they are Brits first and foremost!!!! They also said that they came up with Seven because of various reasons. The number is significant spiritually, she was born on the seventh hour of the seventh day of the week, in the seventh month…plus it’s David’s Jersey number with Manchester United and the English team…leading to the point that they’re Brits first and foremost!!!

But again…I’m sure that they’re sooooo saddened that you guys don’t like the name that when they go back to their multi-million dollar house with their beautiful daughter conceived out of love and with their boys that are well-mannered and love…that you guys not like the name with be on their mind! If YOU don’t like the name…who cares??? Then don’t name your kid that! But stop whining about it here when it’s something that this family is very proud of and loved enough to give it to their daughter. How would you like it if you told someone your child’s name…and their response was “FAIL”…get over yourself!!!!

Jennifer that logic would only work if the other three had english origin names but, the other three have entirely-non anglo names. Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn??

Congrats Victoria, David & the whole family on the birth of beloved Harper Seven Beckham. May Harper have the seven virtues: chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, kindness, patience & humility.

Congrats to them!! I can’t wait to see her.

As for the name..I expected something girlier as well. Harper isn’t a bad name, It’s just not as girly as you would expect after 3 boys haha. As for Seven..well I know the meaning and I as a Man Utd supporter highly appreciate the gesture but I am not sure I like it or that it really flows well but who cares! shes healthy and that’s what matters.

First, I’m so happy for them!! I have 3 boys, and just had a baby girl in March, and it’s really a wonderful feeling for the whole family!!

CONGRATUlATIONS to them!

But, oh my, there are SOOOOO many things offensive to me in these replies!! The c-section being a “violent birth”. Oh my!! Nope, my baby girl was my first c-section and was most definitely the calmest birth I’ve had!!

And then the thought, “If they were SO excited to have a girl after 3 boys, you’d think they’d pick a girly name.”

Well, my daughter’s name is Charleigh (pronounced just like Charlie!), and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have a girl!!! We didn’t find out the gender till birth, and so we picked a name we thought could go either way. Charlie for a boy, or Charleigh for a girl, that way we could go ahead and call the baby by name before actually knowing the gender.

We all have various reasons for picking the names of our children, and it’s not really anyone’s business to tell us what they think we should have picked unless we ask them. I’m sure the name is very personal and loved by them, or else they wouldn’t have chosen it. Who are we to judge?!

Kinda disappointed by the name. I mean it’s pretty but starting to be overused in Hollywood. I was hoping for something a bit more different but not crazy! I just don’t think it flows together at all. But atleast it’s not a crazy wacky name. I’m sure she’s beautiful. Congrats to all of them can’t wait to see little Harper!

Eileen: the article was updated with the name.

Steph: do your own research. Harper Lee’s full name was Nelle Harper Lee. Just as Flannery O’Connor was Mary Flannery O’Connor, etc. It seems every time discussion of Harper comes up people need to chime in with “it’s okay! Harper’s female! Because of Harper Lee!” Gregory Peck’s grandSON is named Harper after the author. Again, not seeing what’s “feminine” and “elegant” about the name. Meaning: harpist, minstrel.

Congrats to the ever expanding first family of fashion! Harper Justine would have been a great name too ….. 😉

Disappointing to know that after all her boys she chose a lackluster of a name for her little girl. Cruz, Romeo, Brooklyn and Harper?? Hard to know if she has all boys, or not 😦

Love the name!! love the meanings!! I m sure by seeing her sons , and the both of them , She is just lovely.

^^^ And look at that, most of those pictures are of David taking pictures of Victoria … shows all those naysayers from the other day.

Victoria and David also got married in July so that may have something to do with them choosing Seven as a middle name.

I absolutely love her name!!!

I am happy they have a girl, but OMG I would NOT want to be Victoria Beckham’s daughter, would you? Weight issues, food issues, relationship issues and insecurities etc…. I bet you that this little girl will end up writing a “Mommy Dearest” type of book about her mother.

Hello the Beckhams
CONGRATS…..You finally have a girl what a blessing you guys must be so happy to have this young lady in your lives. Victoria was so alone and now she has someone to share all those high heels with…well, as far as we are here on this Pacific Islands, but, we rooted for you all the way till Victoria gave birth and what a beautiful chosen name. I really like how the name Seven was explained. The whole same sound so nice…WEll, take care now and enjoy your new family member

Congratulations!!!! I love how the name Seven is catching on, my nephew’s name is Seven and my brother gets really defensive on others lack of understanding… but its God’s perfect number so its perfect…

Mad, I think that’s extremely unfair. No, I don’t know Victoria, but just look at her boys! Everyone who’s met them says they’re happy, healthy, well adjusted, well mannered, etc. Why would she raise a little girl any differently?

poor child hope they don’t tease her. It’s too easy 7-11

Shame shame shame on those mums that think any kind of birth whether natural,c-section,induced is violent.That baby has come into our crazy world by a loving mother and family.A mother who would do anything to protect it the minutue it is born.My 2 girls were born into a room filled with love and peace and a loving mum and dad.Both were born naturally in my mid 30’s drug free,but lucky me as that was what I wanted and also that was what my babies wanted too and got themselves in the correct position.Both weighed in at 4kg and if I had a dollar for every time a know it all mum said I wasn’t very big as in baby bump I would own people magazine.Mums need help not critisism from other women,we are all just trying to do our best.As for the name…its their kid not yours.I like it,thats why its my daughters middle name.What we name our kids is our choice and obviously what we liked.

Oh boy, she’s happy she has a daughter she can dress up. Is that why you had her? How pathetic, this is a baby, not a doll. She needs love, not a couture wardrobe. Also, what are you going to do when little Harper tells her mummy “I hate pink” and “I hate dresses” and refuses to wear them?
