Victoria & David Beckham Welcome Baby Girl, Harper Seven

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 07/10/2011 2:51 pm EDT Updated: 02/20/2013 10:56 am EST

Victoria and David Beckham welcomed a baby girl on Sunday, People Magazine reports. In the evening, David took to Facebook to announce his newborn's name: Harper Seven. (7 was David's soccer jersey number when he played for Manchester United and captained the English National Team.)

Little Harper weighed in at 7 lbs., 10 oz.

The designer and soccer stud already have three boys -- Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5.

"Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family," Beckham family spokesperson Jo Milloy said.

David announced his wife's pregnancy on Facebook back in January, writing, "I've got some great news to tell you all. Victoria and I are expecting our fourth child this summer. The boys are very excited about the arrival of a new brother or sister."

David kept talking, appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel" in April, where he told the host that, at first, they believed it was a boy ("...and Victoria was like, 'Uh, another penis in the house.' She thinks there's too many in the house already"), but found out to Posh Spice's delight that it would be a mini Victoria. He also revealed that big brother Romeo suggested "Justine Bieber Beckham" as a possible name.

Victoria, for her part, has continued working and even launched her Victoria by Victoria Beckham dress collection earlier this week. She previously joked with Glamour UK that she wouldn't be taking time off once the little one arrived, saying, "Maternity leave -- what's that?...My husband and children will always be my priority. But for me, what I do professionally doesn't feel like a job."

Congrats to the happy family.

Now Justine Bieber Beckham would've been cute! But I guess Harper is okay ... I mean, with kids names Cruz, Brooklyn & Romeo, she couldn't have very well named her Anna or Mary or Linda (or something 'normal'), could she? Anyhoo ... congrats to the whole bunch!

And why is the HP Mod(erator) Squad all over this story?????

In Scripture, seven symbolizes completeness or perfection. I am sure that this little girl is loved and adored already and that mummy and daddy chose her name with significance special to them. Who cares what those of you "perfect people" think?

In Scripture, seven symbolizes completeness or perfection. I am sure their choice of names for their darling little girl have meaning to them; and for sure this child is loved. So why are some people trying to inject their own negative 'holier than thou' opinions in this?
03:45 PM on 07/11/2011
As you inject your own negative holier than thou opinions on everyone else.

Hmmmmm named after a magazine and that stupid kid added late in the series run from Married with Children?

Or are we talking Harper Valley PTA for the first part?

Maybe she was named after Harper Lee, Pulitzer Prize winning author of "To Kill a Mockingbird". It's a beautiful name.

Harper's all right. Not sure about "Seven" though.
11:11 PM on 07/12/2011
Or maybe none of the above, and they just chose a popular name.

Check out the "body language" on Vicki (not to mention the expression) in the family photo. She seems a tad down, upset, angry(?). It looks as if there is someone "out of frame" holding a gun on her. Wonder if the marriage is still (?) going well ? NOT!!!!

The side effect of having a rather massive stick up one's backside. Plus, perhaps she's of the impression that it's "posh" to look constipated!
