It certainly has that celebrity ring to it, but exactly why did the Beckhams choose the name Harper Seven for their newborn daughter?
Victoria Beckham, who gave birth to the couple’s first daughter on Sunday at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles at 7.55am, has always liked the name Harper an unnamed friend of the couple told US magazine.
“Harper is an old English name that [Victoria] has always liked,” the source said. But what about her middle name Seven? Although David Beckham‘s old jersey number was seven, the couple’s friend says it is also known as a lucky number. “Seven is a very spiritual lucky number. She was born in the seventh month, in the seventh hour.”
