My great grandparents were Edward and Elizabeth. Their children were something like Emma,Emily,Eli,Ezra,Elisha and Elbert. It sounds like it should start with an E.

When Posh & Becks had their baby daughter named Harper Tuesday, I was drying my hair listening to the radio, and just caught the end of the news, I thought they said they had called her "Half past Tuesday" but it did not surprise me :-D

I can understand "Brooklyn Beckham" as a name, but Posh must keep a detailed diary to know it happened on that particular Tuesday :-S

I have to admit i thoguht she was called "Harper Seven" - same as you i heard they coudn't think of a proper name & called her after the time she arrived
Half passed Seven - still think its a very funny name for a little girl

Then someone else said it was the name for a Witch in a comic - would have thought they could have come up with a pretty name for a little girl after waiting all that time.

Someone I know called their little girl "Bailey" after the tipple she kept drinking while expecting

When I worked at the nursery we had a family with 3 boys Kirk Douglas *******
Douglas Kirk ******* & the 3rd was called Spartacus ******** (she ran out of ideas) - she was madly in love with Kirk Douglas - Goodness only knows what woudl happen if she had a 4th

Poor little things
