Harper Seven

[Ian]

So what does everyone think about the name of the latest Beckham?

Harper is a nice name, for a boy! But calling a girl Harper Seven sounds like something out of Star Trek deep space nine.

what's wrong with nice normal traditional names like David, Victoria, Alexandra, Sarah, Robert??? drives me mad when people call their kids ridiculous names. when Kylie Minogue became a pop star hit in the UK in the late 80's the amount of girls burdened with the name Kylie was phenomenal!

I remember years ago I was in a customer's house and they were watching Kilroy (remember him?). There was a mother to referred to her three kids by their given names, Keefer, Keanu and Demi and then after a comment by Kilroy denied they were named after the actors :lol:

Names always get shortened:
H7 - isn't that a road in Milton Keynes?...................or is it a car bulb?

Harper is more like a boys name.

I used to live in Bramley road, and always thought if I had a baby boy I would call him Bramley. Everyone hated the idea. I had 2 girls anyway - Sophie & Lucy

I like using surnames as first names, but like you say, it's more suited to boys I think.

 

[doug boardley]

I think it's a daft name......I mean my boys have "normal" names like Harrison Reid Boardley and Gabriel Tomlinson Boardley, but I suppose the Beckham kids won't mix in normal circles and have the mickey taken.

Its not as bad as some others. Frank Zapper's kids= Dweezle and Moon Unit!!!

I went to school with a guy called Richard Perver and my girlfriend went to school with a girl called Crystal Ball.

Met a guy a couple of weeks ago, his cousin was called Walt Disney Christmas Pane!!!! Because his mum loves all those things. That kid is going to grow up normal.

Harper Seven? If she was born 15 minutes later she'd be called Kworta Eight.

Had to think about that one a minute :lol:

 

[doug boardley]

Harper...what a bazaar name,...I'll get my coat.

 

[user123]

Weird name, I like unusual names, prefer them over traditional ones as I love the idea of giving the child a sense of individuality, but they have to still be pleasant somehow! Harper 7, there is just nothing pleasant about it! Sounds like some drab space station. Poor girl. Doug's boys have great names, don't they? Recognisable but not common.

Actors aren't allowed to register the same or very similar names with Equity so have to chose something else or often entertainers choose something different as they do not have a particularly showbizy name.

When we were running workshops here's some fun games we used to play with people to find alternative names.

1) Take the name of the street or house where you were born/first lived and your mother's maiden name. In my case I was born in Rupert Street and my mother's maiden name was Ball so I would be Rupert Ball. This usually produces some thing reasonable

2) Take the name of your first pet and you middle name. My first pet was a budgie called Joey and as I do not have a middle name I would be Joey Blank. In my case not to outrageous but from experience most people come out sounding like a ****star.

3) Finally if you want a science fiction name use you name backwards so I would Niffirg Sirch.

Give it a go and see what you get. It can make a good party game especially if everyone has had a few.

I remember a similar party game where we were swapping the first letter of two of your first and surname so John Smith would be Smon Jith. Suzie Black got one hell of a ribbing that night :lol:
