David and Victoria Beckham's fourth... what do you think?

So it was just announced that [name]David[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Beckham[/name] are expecting their fourth child this summer!

Currently they have 3 sons:

[name]Brooklyn[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] [name]Beckham[/name]
[name]Romeo[/name] [name]James[/name] [name]Beckham[/name]
[name]Cruz[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Beckham[/name]

…quite an eclectic choice of names, I think. What sort of name do you think they’ll go for their fourth?

Evidently they like ‘traditional’ middle names, [name]James[/name], [name]Joseph[/name], [name]David[/name]… Presumably they are family names. If so, other family names they could use as middle names includes [name]Anthony[/name], [name]Christian[/name], [name]Robert[/name] or [name]Edward[/name] (assuming they have another boy).

[name]Brooklyn[/name] was (rumoured) to be named after where he was conceived… [name]Romeo[/name] was born in [name]London[/name] and [name]Cruz[/name] was born in Madrid, so maybe their names were inspired by where they were born ([name]Cruz[/name] means “[name]Cross[/name]” in Spanish). It’s likely that their fourth will be born in [name]England[/name] or the USA, so who knows.

I could see them choosing something a little unusual and fancy but brave - for example, [name]Romeo[/name] has a lot to live up to his name!

The type of thing that springs to mind is:

[name]Julius[/name]
[name]Dante[/name]
[name]Moses[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Elvis[/name]
[name]Tennyson[/name]
[name]Adonis[/name]
[name]Tiger[/name]
[name]Lysander[/name]
[name]Roux[/name]
[name]Leopold[/name]
[name]Lucian[/name]
[name]Heathcliff[/name]
[name]Boston[/name]
[name]Prince[/name]
[name]Byron[/name]
[name]Pablo[/name]
[name]Phoenix[/name]
[name]Zion[/name]

Harder to judge girls names since they haven’t had one before, but thinking along the lines of places, religious or literary…

[name]Ariadne[/name]
[name]Juno[/name]
[name]Valentine[/name]
[name]Milan[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Dakota[/name]
[name]Ophelia[/name]
[name]Skye[/name]
[name]Honor[/name]
[name]Tamora[/name]
[name]Hero[/name]
[name]Capella[/name]
[name]Leonora[/name]

Any other ideas…?

Personally I really like cute names like [name]Tiger[/name], [name]Pablo[/name], [name]Felix[/name], [name]Juno[/name], [name]Honor[/name]… whether I would ever have the guts to use any on my own child or chicken out for something more sensible remains to be seen. However I think anybody who can name their son “[name]Romeo[/name]” has the guts to use something like “[name]Julius[/name]” or “[name]Prince[/name]”, don’t you?

I think the Beckhams are really interesting- it seems to me that their style has evolved over time. Their oldest is [name]Brooklyn[/name], which I don’t care for, and he’s named after his place of conception, which is a trend I absolutely loathe. Their next is [name]Romeo[/name], which is a totally different feel. I like it more than [name]Brooklyn[/name], but it’s a bit too tied to [name]Shakespeare[/name] for me. The youngest is [name]Cruz[/name], which I love. All the boys have very traditional middle names- [name]Joseph[/name], [name]James[/name], and [name]David[/name]-and I suspect they’ll continue that trend. I heard a prediction of [name]Isis[/name] for a girl, and I think that fits their style spectacularly- my guesses would be something like [name]Isis[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] or [name]Catalina[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. For a boy, I’d expect something like [name]Tiago[/name] [name]Andrew[/name] or [name]Nico[/name] [name]Alexander[/name].

My reaction was embarrassing upon reading that they were expecting #4! So excited for them! I am holding out hope for a little girl if only because I’d melt seeing [name]David[/name] with a little lady and how [name]Victoria[/name] dresses her.

I love all their names and can’t wait to hear what they pick!

Boy = [name]Apollo[/name]
Girl = [name]Aphrodite[/name]

I have a gut feeling the baby will be a girl - but I could very well be wrong. :lol:

Yes, it’ll be interesting to see what they choose.

I really think it will be a girl, and I think the name they chose will shock people… They have no real flow when naming the children, which I kinda like… The names “go” in that they dont go… If that makes any sense at all!

I think she will have 2 middle names, since, I’d imagine it will be there last child and therefor, only daughter (haha Im sooo sure it will be a girl!)
I think her 1st two names will be different, crazy and her 2nd middle name/3rd name will be traditional, like the boys’s mns, probably [name]Jacqueline[/name].

I think it will have something to do with the already named Godparents, Chief [name]Gordan[/name] [name]Ramsey[/name] and his wife [name]Tana[/name].
Maybe something like [name]Ramsey[/name] [name]Christian[/name] [name]Beckham[/name] or [name]Tana[/name] [name]Lillian[/name] [name]Beckham[/name]. [name]Hope[/name] they have a girl for Posh’s sake. If so, they will probably go with one of the new top British names like [name]Florence[/name].

I think she’ll name her baby [name]Ruby[/name] or something like that. [name]Ruby[/name] might be too popular in [name]England[/name] right now. Maybe she’ll go for [name]Clementine[/name] or [name]Sapphire[/name] or [name]Lilac[/name] or something like that. Or maybe she likes more gender neutral girls names like [name]Presley[/name] or [name]Ripley[/name] or something, though those seem very close to her boy names.

Hmm… I do hope it’s a girl. I can genuinely see a them using a Name [name]Berry[/name] style girls name. I really think [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Clementine[/name] or [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Beckham[/name] would really really work. I’d imagine they’d use something slightly wackier for a middle name. I know they’ve kept it traditional for the boys, but I can really picture a ‘[name]Clementine[/name] [name]Asia[/name]’ or a ‘[name]Penelope[/name] Lupine’.

For a boy… I’d imagine something cool, like [name]Atticus[/name] or [name]Boston[/name], with the traditional middle name theme.
