Victoria and David have even decided on an American-themed name for their first daughter…. Can you guess what it is?
The famous Beckham brood fell in love with the USA after relocating Stateside four years ago — and they consider their baby daughter‘s birth date a fitting tribute to their adopted home.
“Victoria and David love America, its culture and her people, who have welcomed them with open arms,” a source tells The Sun newspaper.
David, 36 moved to Los Angeles in 2007 to play for Major League Soccer team the LA Galaxy. Former Spice Girl Victoria, 37 soon followed with their sons Brooklyn,11, Romeo, 8 and Cruz 5, and the family set up home in Hollywood.
The Beckhams are still working on a shortlist of baby names for their first daughter, but a current favorite is Atlanta — a reference to the U.S. city and the ocean that divides their native Britain from America.
“David wanted a name that was relevant to their lives during the conception,” The Sun‘s source adds.
What do you think of the name choice? Do you have any better suggestions for the Americaphile Beckhams?

hey don’t rat on Atlanta some great oscar winning films have had their world premieres there as in Gone With The Wind & The Three Faces Of Eve. which the star of the latter film attended the premiere of GWTW at age 9 and managed to get in the back of it’s stars limo and crawl into her then future Husbands lap. correct the lead star of Gone With The Wind was Vivian Leigh her then future husband was Lawrence Olivier and that then 9 year old girl was Joanne Woodward who many years later worked with Barron Olivier in a Tv production of Come Back Little Sheeba and she stayed friends until hepassed away in 1989. Nor is naming a kid after a place that’s special to the parents anything new like for example Paris Hilton is supposedly named after the city in which she was conceived Paris France or it would’ve ben like Newman & Woodwardnaming one of their daughters London because that’s where they spent their honeymoon

As a resident of Atlanta, I would plead with them not to name her Atlanta, it’s a dump of a city, they might as well name her Flint.

please she had to be due within two weeks on either side of that to get that as her scheduled date for the C-section. I hope they pick a simple classic name like Eve or Patricia for their daughter
