Did Posh Spice and David Beckham name their daughter after Harper Finkle?

A few days ago Posh Spice and her soccer playing husband had a kid, and this is apparently very important. The girl was named “Harper Seven Beckham”, a name which some report was inspired by the character Harper Finkle from the hit TV series “Wizards of Waverly Place“. The name was supposedly chosen by Harper’s older brothers who are big fans of the show. Other potential names for the girl were Alex, Russo and selena<3justin4everXOXOXO but they went with Harper because it "sounded trendier".
Many assume the girl’s middle name, “Seven” is based on the number of David Beckham’s soccer shirt. I was unable to verify this, because the Internet does not offer any pictures of David Beckham actually wearing a shirt. The true story is surely more interesting, as Seven is clearly a reference to the short lived character named Seven from the 7th season of “Married With Children”. I heard some British people say that David Beckham used to play football, so his interest in the show must derive from how impressed he is with Al Bundy scoring 4 touchdowns in a single game. Here’s hoping that the inevitable baby #5 will be named Buck Polk Beckham.
