The number 7 was David Beckham's football shirt number when he played for Manchester United.
Is it a name or is it a number? David and Victoria Beckham have continued the tradition of naming their children with words not normally considered forenames by calling their daughter 'Seven'. Yes, that's right, Seven. As in the number 7. But there's a difference this time: they've reserved the more memorable moniker for their little girl's middle name.
Instead of conventional Christian names, the first three Beckham kids received - in order of birth - the name of a district of New York (Brooklyn), the title of Shakespeare's most famous character (Romeo) and the Spanish word for 'cross' (Cruz). Meanwhile, their middle names are the more down-to-earth Joseph, James and David.
