Victoria gave birth to the couple's fourth child, Harper Seven Beckham, on Sunday.
The name of the baby has reminded many fans of the Jerry Seinfeld comedy, where one of the main characters is mocked for wanting to name his baby Seven.
George Costanza (played by Jason Alexander) tells his girlfriend Susan (Heidi Swedberg) that the name Seven is "a beautiful name for a boy or a girl, especially a girl".
Susan responds by saying: "It's awful, I hate it. No child of mine is ever going to be named Seven."
Jerry also mocks George's choice of baby name by suggesting that he call her 'Mug', 'Gherkin' or 'Maxwell House'.
Seinfeld has also been a trending topic on Twitter since the name of the baby was revealed. A CNN producer joked: "Victoria & David Beckham gave their daughter the middle name Seven. They're officially an episode of Seinfeld."

I don't see what all the fuss is about, celebs (and many others) have named their children after seasons, months of the year, mythical creatures even fruit, why not numbers? Each of the aforementioned were unusual when first used but people have got used to them (well sort of). Anyway she'll be called Harper in everyday use and besides out of all the unusual names I would say Seven beats Apple or Fifi Trixabelle everytime!
