    Kinda scuppers David's hopes of rearing an all male football team, though ... unless he's planning to carry on to raise a 'five-a-side' team.

    Well I'm impressed by the Beckham's new baby daughter's name

    I didn't think either of them could count past the fingers of one hand

    how about Sharper instead of Harper?

    somehow parents should give it a lot of thoughts when naming their child..they should consider the effect when their child is already a grown up, think of embarrassment a kid will feel because of her/his weird name.....what's wrong with the old-fashioned names? these names have characters and history in them

    Some other "strange" names:

    Frank Zappa's children ...... Moon Unit, Dweezil, and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen.

    David Bowie's son ...... Zowie Bowie

    I used to know a couple, Mr & Mrs White, who named their daughter Isla

    ... and the old Spike Milligan joke, about Mr & Mrs Wallcarpet, and their son, Walter

    No man is an island, but Barry is

    They should follow Bill Gates' example and give something to the starving babies in less fortunate countries. (Maybe they do).

    Let's never forget how lucky we are by pure accident of birth.

    The birth time was 7.55 local time, surely Kworta Eight would have been a name closer to the time!

    If it was 6 minutes later could have been called After Eight.
