Yes halt the presses because apparently this is B - I - G news. Victoria Beckham has not only read an entire book but she has named her new baby girl after the author of her FAVORITE (yes the implication being that she has read more than one) book. The book is none other than 'To Kill A Mockingbird' (there is also an eponymous movie starring Gregory Peck.... not to make any suggestion to the effect that she may have just rented the dvd.... although speaking of Romeo is also named after another famous literary tale which has hailed many a film adaptation....) by Harper Lee and according to the new videos on David Beckham's facebook page (who by the way is looking pretty wrinkle free- I think their might be a bit of botox going on.... of perhaps he just hasn't had to think very hard about anything.... ever, but back to the story) "one reason is Harper's an old English name which we loved and one of the other reasons was Victoria's favorite book is To Kill A Mockingbird and the author is Harper Lee. It is a very strong, passionate book. That's where Harper came from."
So there you have it. They did not get the inspiration from Seinfeld.... which I have to say is disappointing since it would have been a far more interesting story and unique American cultural reference.... as 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is compulsory reading in almost every province and state I would be surprised if anyone was awed with their literary prowess....
