David and Victoria Beckham had a baby today. She is the first girl after three boys, and many were waiting to hear what name the Spice Girl had bestowed upon her. It is spicy...Harper Seven Beckham. Seven is a curious middle name and after David Beckham had posted the name, comments ranged from "interesting" to "What were they thinking?". Seven isn't so bad. Seven was the number on Beckham's jersey when he played soccer in England. If they were merely considering it, perhaps the fact that she was born at 7:55 a.m. on 7-11-11 and weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz. helped take the name over the top! It does seem that seven is her lucky number.
Celebrities continue the trend of picking unique names for their little ones. That can be a double edged sword, but the Beckhams seem to have achieved uniqueness without getting too crazy with it. Kate Hudson had a baby boy as well. What will it be Kate? And speaking of Kate...bets are already being made on the name of the first royal baby born to William and Kate. Of course, with them, tradition will likely dictate that it will be named for a previous royal. There's no explaining the intense fascination with English royals here in the U.S. As we speak, William and Kate are touring Southern California and wowing the locals. The Royal Baby watch is on. What do you think of celebrity baby names?
