On Monday 4th July Twitter went beserk with the rumour of Victoria Beckham had given birth to a baby girl named Coco (for those who do not know, that is actually the name of her dog - and Cheryl Cole's come to think of it). On Wednesday 6th July the rumour mill again went into overdrive with people tweeting the arrival of a baby girl named Felicity.
Today however it was officially announced that Victoria and David had welcomed their baby girl at 7.55 am on 10th July 2011, naming her Harper Seven Beckham.
Again rumours have circulated about the reasons behind the name, with people saying that Harper is after either Harper Lee, author of How To Kill A Mockingbird, and Seven from the American sitcom Seinfeld. However it seems like Harper is a generic American name that the couple have liked for quite a while, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out where the Seven comes from - David Beckham played in the shirt number Seven for years, both with England and Manchester United - as well as it being a lucky number for many people (myself included :) )
Although it is an unusual name by many peoples standards, lets face it, their the Beckham's - with three boys name Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz - they were hardly likely to name her something ordinary like Samantha or Sophie were they.
