In true PH style, what a chav!

[Morningside]

My first thought was...Is this a nod to "Seven of Nine"?

Is David a Voyager fan or is this some other odd reference?

[ChiChoAndy]

Surely the Chav aspect is giving a hoot what someone many many miles from you calls their child?

[hornetrider]

It is a bizarre name, the poor child

[ChiChoAndy]

Harper isn't an odd name in the states.

He's a well-known Caterham fan, and Victoria's favourite book is "Too Kill a Mockingbird".

Oh Vicky Vicky Vicky! I'm disappointed sweetie. Brooklyn I like, Romeo... meh, Cruz god no, Harper Seven??? Are you high????

Who really gives a toss, I mean is what some obviously very good parents name their child really a significant issue for you?

This is PH... Despite claims to the contrary, most news links are from the mail, and people act like salon gossips!

I thought something similar - Harper from Andromeda (Sci-fi series), 7 from Blakes 7.

Also, sounds like a moon of some kind.

I assume it links to his 'DB7' branding? So, they've made their new kid a marketing tool.

[ChiChoAndy]

Yes, they did it to make their child a marketing tool...

Why the rolleyes? Every move these two have made since getting together has been about marketing their 'brand'. Why assume that they wouldn't include their kids in this?

[LadyLuck]

Hell for their money & lifestyle I'd market anything I had going for me!

Because they haven't done that with their other kids. It's quite a heartless accusation to be honest. Harper is a normal name in thenUS, where they have spent a lot of time. Seven is obviously an important thing to David, but I don't see it as any devious marketing scheme.

[JonnyFive]

I actually quite like that name..

Well, they named Brooklyn after his place of conception didn't they? Perhaps this on was named after the time of conception?

(at the conversation above, and at the obviously stupid name)

'Romeo' and 'Cruz' were not so-named to appeal to the Spanish (when he played for Real) and the Hispanic populations (in LA) then?

It's not 'heartless', it's just an observation. They can call their kids whatever they like, for whatever reasons. It's not as if I'm accusing them of neglect or anything is it?
